“No pass… No beach! This is the restriction of freedom heard by a Twitter user by relaying a video of a little over a minute
initially uploaded on the TikTok social network.
In this sequence, a woman films herself while driving to a beach near Toulon (Var)… and deplores not being able to access it because of the security measures in force. “It’s a joke! They are checks to go to the beach… They have fences everywhere and there you have to show the Pass [sanitaire]. “

She then gets out of her vehicle to film more closely the control of said document at the entrance to the beaches of Mourillon … even if it means misleading Internet users, by suggesting that access to this public space is systematically conditioned to the presentation of the Health Pass.
FAKE OFF
As can be seen at 12:27 in the video, the “Sanitary Pass Control” panel displayed on site provides an important clarification: “Festivities of August 15, 2021 – Toulon”.
This tool aimed at limiting the spread of Covid-19 was indeed required exceptionally on the occasion of the annual meeting organized by the municipality on Assumption Day, as it specifies at 20 minutes : “Every year, we organize a Patrouille de France parade and fireworks. Each time, we submit a file to the prefecture to do this, which requires the establishment of a fan zone. This year, in view of the context, she also asked to check the Health Pass ”.
The health pass required on private beaches
“This lady was completely free to go to other beaches near Toulon that day, since the health pass was only required for those on Mourillon. Since August 15, these have obviously been accessible without a health pass, ”adds the town hall.
While access to public beaches therefore remains free, the sanitary pass may on the other hand be required on private beaches, or in certain aquatic areas as has been observed. some inhabitants of Isère, or, in the capital,
Paris-Beaches.
