Flying drones over nudist beaches, blocking traffic and chasing frightened geese – where wannabe social media influencers wreak havoc on our idyllic British holiday paradises (but the seagulls get their revenge!)

TikTokers filming on a nudist beach in Cornwall and trying to kick a goose in a London park are among the latest social influencers to spark outrage.

The two-man film crew who invaded Pedn Vounder’s privacy were also filmed flying a drone over the naturist beach after being told to stop vlogging.

But a young woman promoting the seafront at Whitby got loose when her blogging stunt backfired and a seagull went to the toilet on her head mid-way through filming.

The videos are the latest in a string of pranks by social media wannabes at some of Britain’s most prized resorts that have enraged locals. Earlier this month, MailOnline revealed how locals near beauty spots complained about the impact of tourists, with photos and videos showing piles of rubbish left behind and fights breaking out over issues such as parking and queues.

Now bestselling author GP Taylor, who lives in Whitby, said social influencers should be banned from the Yorkshire coast.

The enraged local slammed ‘talentless scoundrels’ who are ‘completely empty and promote a lifestyle that is unreal’.

The writer added: ‘They attract the wrong kind of people – drunks who throw up in the street and think they can behave as they please. I was in London and saw a social influencer chasing the geese in St James’ Park. His mates took videos and thought he was very funny, running around trying to kick a baby goose.’

Cameras have also been descending on Pedn Vounder after footage of the nudist beach was posted on YouTube by a number of influencers.

Although the beach is still highly regarded as a gem on the Cornish coast, influencers have played on its links to the naturist community.

Naked people are not photographed, but a cameraman notes: ‘There are naked people over there, which is why I’m pointing the camera the other way.

Later they appear further up the beach and say: ‘We were just told to film on the nudist beach, so we’re not going to film anymore except in the water.’

Nevertheless, in a subsequent video they are seen flying a drone over the beach and joke that the nudists are already out.

In another video by Yorkshire couple Aaron and Em, the man films himself walking along the beach singing: ‘D***s D***s Everywhere Little One Here Little One There.’

Then he sees a paddle board blow up and laughs ‘Trying to get it big and hard on a nudist beach’

Bestselling children’s author GP Taylor witnessed the incident where the selfie taker was dive bombed by the seagull. He said: ‘She blocked traffic and pedestrians took a picture of themselves with Whitby in the background.

‘Just as she did in a white plastic mac a seagull s*** on her. The best thing that ever happened.

‘Social media influencers are talentless pigs. No one should follow them because they are completely empty and promote a lifestyle that is unreal.

‘All they do is put up pictures that are not real and are in their cameras. Whitby is beautiful in itself and doesn’t need them.

‘They attract the wrong kind of people – drunks who throw up in the street and think they can behave however they want.

‘I was in London and saw a social influencer chasing the geese in St James’ Park. His mates took videos and thought he was very funny, running around trying to kick a baby goose.

‘I told him if I caught him what I would do with the goose. We also have a problem with influencers during Whitby Goth Week.

‘Many of the Goth ladies are dressed in exciting clothes and the influencers get people to come and Goth Watch.

‘That is not correct. They should be able to dress the way they want without people coming here to brag about them. Influencers do no good for the Yorkshire coast at all and should be discouraged from coming.’

Many in the tourism industry believe that social influencers gained a strong foothold in the staycation market during Covid.

Their blogging was blamed for attracting the wrong kind of crowd to traditional family resorts, leading to littering and anti-social behavior problems.

Patrick Holdsworth, guiding light for the community further up the coast in Robin Hood’s Bay, said: ‘We’re lucky we’ve never attracted that kind of teenage market.

‘So we haven’t really had that kind of problem with influencers. We tend to attract more walkers and those kinds of visitors.’

Creepy scenes see influencers seemingly respecting monuments – including a woman who ran away from security and touched the stones at Stonehenge.

Other influencers filmed themselves signing their social media handles on beaches and climbing on top of an abandoned tank.

A video showed a woman at the Stonehenge monument in Wiltshire touching the 13m tall standing stones before being led away.

The TikTok user who uploaded the footage described her as a ‘bad tourist’, with comments in response including ‘The forbidden touching is to protect the bio-culture on the rocks’ and ‘Shouldn’t she get a ticket or something?’

Another clip was posted by a TikToker who wrote her online profile name Barbiana in the sand on a beach in Cornwall.

She told viewers: ‘I’m a city girl, don’t get me wrong, but look at this – you can’t beat this, it looks a bit like Greece.

“Of course I always had to announce my name before leaving the beach.”

A third revealed how cars have clogged the area around Snowdonia in Wales, while there has also been footage of people climbing on an abandoned tank in Derbyshire’s Peak District countryside.

The Snowdonia video was posted by someone who told viewers: ‘I thought there were some stupid people in the world and then there it is – three rows of cars, middle row completely locked in.’

And the footage of Ramshaw Tank in the Peak District was shared by the Derbyshire Young Walkers group, who accompanied it with the caption: ‘Has anyone been to all three of these amazing hidden gems?! The Peak District is full of them!’

The other two attractions they recommended were a waterfall next to an aqueduct in Chatsworth, Derbyshire, and the nearby Hidden Druids Caves in Birchover.

Complaints from locals in the UK come as fed-up residents of the Canary Islands in Spain have also launched protests demanding a crackdown on British holidaymakers – with graffiti on the walls saying: ‘Tourists go home.’
