Many beaches in Sydney’s eastern suburbs were closed to the public on Sunday, after people blatantly ignored social distancing rules designed to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
So, Bachelor couple Anna Heinrich and Tim Robards decided to head to the stretch of sand in Rose Bay to soak up the sun.
Tim, 37, brought along his paddleboard and took it for a spin while Anna, 32, lay on the grass and watched her husband play in the water.

The beach in Rose Bay was not in lockdown and it is not suggested that Anna and Tim were not complying with social distancing.
The chiropractor-turned-actor couldn’t help but smile as he glided across the water on his paddleboard.
He waved to his wife and made funny faces to keep her entertained, while she lay down on a towel in the shade and flicked through her phone.
Parched from his paddleboarding session, Tim returned to shore and cracked open a cold bottle of kombucha to re-hydrate.
