Couple have sex on Brighton Beach in broad daylight... as nine men look on and take pictures

This is the moment a couple appeared to be brazenly having sex in broad daylight on a beach in front of shocked parents and children.

Disgusted Simon Cummins said he and his friends were stunned as they heard the woman's sexual moans while walking along the promenade on Brighton beach.

Mr Cummins, 30, had been to a friend’s stag party the night before but was up at 9am to pick up his car to travel to a charity football match, which is when he saw the display.

'Horrible': Police who approached the party made two arrests before issuing on-the-spot fines

Debauched display: Simon said several men approached the couple and one attempted to join in

However, as the party passed the famous Brighton Pier, they say they first heard - and then saw - a blonde woman gyrating on top of a man on the beach.

Just yards from the sordid scene holidaymakers and children can be seen passing by. At one point a youngster points to the lewd goings on before his disgusted mother pulls him away.

The incident happened close to the pier on the public side of Brighton beach. It is near the more secluded nudist beach which is situated on the other side of the pier.

Mr Cummins said at one point several men approached the couple and one attempted to join in.

Sussex Police said they did catch up with the couple and made two arrests before issuing on-the-spot fines.

But Simon, from Waltham Abbey, Essex, said he the couple should have been locked up.

He said: 'It was broad daylight, the nearest families were 10 metres away if that, there were kids playing nearby. It was disgusting.

'I have young nephews and nieces and if I had seen that kind of thing going on in front of them I would have had a word.

'The woman and the man didn’t look like they were druggies, or dishevelled, they looked like normal everyday people, except it looked like they were [having sex] on a beach in the middle of the day.
