Residents of an Anglesey village say they're being left unable to use their own local beach during the summer months.
Llanddwyn beach near Newborough village attracts many visitors each year.
National Resources Wales (NRW), which manages the Anglesey beach, allows access to the site between 8am until 5pm, with up to 400 cars parking there per day.
But residents fear this isn't enough to deal with the number of tourists that visit the area. Over recent weeks, due to a limit in parking capacity on site and an increase in visitors, driveways and the road leading to the beach have been blocked by parked cars.
They say the restrictions have also meant that residents are unable to visit the site during quieter times such as in the early morning or late in the evening.
According to Cathy Sands, the issue has been ongoing for almost six years, but has worsened since lockdown restrictions have relaxed.
Despite holding a meeting with NRW and Anglesey council 18 months ago to address the issue, Cathy says that nothing has been done about it and that the local community are becoming frustrated with the situation.
The Newborough community now wants to see the beach restrictions lifted.
"This has been an ongoing problem for about six years now," she told North Wales Live.
"And as each summer passes, we as locals seem to have less rights to our area.
"We arranged a meeting 18 months ago between us locals, NRW and Anglesey County Council, it was packed out and seemed to go well. We were promised a follow up meeting within six weeks, but nothing happened regardless of our best efforts.
"We don't want to stop visitors coming here, but rather have the means to be able to appreciate our surrounding areas like them.
"It's frustrating and totally heartbreaking. It's our home, we've lived here all of our lives and yet we don't have access to some parts of it.
"I don't venture out of the area that much because of Covid, but I can't even access the places that I can go to."
She said she has also found the place littered with rubbish, human faeces and people unlawfully camping on the site over recent weeks.
Mrs Sands added: "Something really needs to be done soon. Someone needs to take control of the situation as there is no real measurement put in place."
Bro Aberffraw Cll Peter Rogers said there was "too much talking and not enough action" over the issue.
He added: "It's a difficult situation.
"I go through most days talking to the locals about the matter and I sympathise with their situation.
"I fully understand that if we are to reopen local access that this would need to be done gradually and efficiently, especially regarding our current circumstances.
"We've had meetings about it, but we don't seem to pull through. We need to support the local community and I owe it to them to sort this out."
Dylan Williams, who is the land and assets manager of Natural Resources Wales, said NRW was doing the best it could in a difficult situation.
"We are living in unprecedented times," he said.
"We fully understand that this is a difficult situation for the local community and I apologise for that. We are working on restrictions that can keep social distancing in place, keep people safe and to manage the potential traffic in the area.
"From this week on, we are now providing local residents with fobs so they can access the beach, and have reopened two car parks close to the area.
"Toilets are open on the site, and we are hoping to bring more portable toilets to deal with the issues on the beach.
"These are problems not only in Newborough but through out the rest of North Wales, and we are trying to deal with them as best as we can at the moment.
"We've always maintained a good relationship with the community, we hope to work closely with them and improve the situation for them once it's safe to do so."
