Did they not keep playgrounds (swingsets, jungle gyms, the like) closed where you where? As I mentioned above, by the end of April, they knew that was unnecessary.
Did you see the movie about social networks and how they filter news to certain people so that different people see different news? I think this is the case with some of these people. How could they NOT have heard these stories? They were everywhere - except on left leaning sites I guess.
For a brief period of time, my coastal town in FL said that we could go to the beach but that we could not sit on the beach on a towel or in a chair. I love to go to the beach so my husband and I said screw that, let's go to the beach and sit on it and see what happens. We have to go up stairs cross a boardwalk area and go back down stairs to get on the beach. As we got to the top of the of the stair we looked out and saw tons of people sitting on the beach and the lifeguards and beach patrol did nothing. It gave me a great feeling.

OK, I'm not calling you a liar, but I find it hard to believe that your town said you could go to the beach but you couldn't sit down, because that makes absolutely no sense. So when these anecdotes come out, I assume they are either fake news or some kind of misunderstanding. And I've seen many examples of fake news sites (mostly right wing BTW) running stories that sound shocking or unbelievable - because they're not true.

They issued that order in Miami Beach shortly after they opened the beaches. It was never enforced. The idea was you couldn’t bunch up on the sand, so you could only go to the beach for exercise or to dip into the water.
Anthony Fauci co-wrote an article which was published in the February 26, 2020 edition of The New England Journal of Medicine. I hereby provide an excerpt with a URL to the article in its entirety.
Based on this article, it was evident and clear Fauci himself believed the infection fatality rate for Covid-19 was extremely low, something "akin to [those] of a severe seasonal influenza."
The problem is that you and the rest of those whom you define as "lot of us" who claim to have done with the best information that you had and were given is that you were lied to through the teeth of those whom you trusted.
.
Regardless if the mortality rate was 10% or 1% or 0.1%, the fact is that over 1 million Americans died from Covid-19. That is many times more than die from influenza each year. So if Fauci thought it was similar to a seasonal flu, he would soon find out it is much more serious than that.

Oh, so the order was to prevent close contact, or to keep people from staying for a long time. Not a terrible idea, but hard to enforce.

"City beaches, along with Indian River County public beaches, successfully opened Tuesday with restrictions on some activities and large gatherings, Mayor Tony Young said during the weekly update he hosts with City Manager Monte Falls.
"People are happy about that," he said.
Beachgoers continue to follow social distancing, Young said.
"Last month, public beaches were closed amid safety concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic. City parks and boat ramps have remained open.
The most frequently asked question: when will people be allowed to bring chairs, blankets and coolers to the beach?

“The overwhelming number of (Covid) deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four co-morbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with.”
- CDC Director Rochelle Wallensky

Very much a terrible idea.
