A pilot flew more than 290 miles so that he could visit the beach during a bank holiday.
An unnamed civilian pilot flew his plane from Surrey, landing hundreds of miles away at a closed RAF base - RAF Valley - on the island of Anglesey, on 25 May.
According to reports, the Royal Air Force sprang into action, launching an emergency response, with guards and fire crews attending the scene.

It's understood that the base had been closed for refurbishment and crews believed the single-engine turboprop had actually made an emergency landing at the strip.
However, it later transpired that the pilot had landed at the base for access to the beach, in breach of Wales' more stringent lockdown measures.
According to a Defence Aviation Safety Occurence Report, the pilot admitted that he had made the trip 'to go to the beach' when questioned.
And once checks had been carried out, the pilot reportedly took off once again, despite the base being closed.

An RAF spokesman said: "The RAF can confirm that, on 25 May, a civilian PC-12 aircraft landed on a closed runway at RAF Valley without permission.
"Whilst irregular, it was assessed that there was no threat to station personnel or the wider public. The incident has been reported to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)."
Speaking about the incident, Superintendent Richie Green, from North Wales Police, stated that police were investigating to determine whether the pilot had 'breached Covid legislation'.
He said: "We were contacted by colleagues from RAF Valley at 1.04pm on Monday 25 May, reporting that a light aircraft had made an unauthorised landing at the airbase. The pilot was dealt with by military police.

"Whilst the incident is primarily being investigated by the RAF and Civil Aviation Authority, North Wales Police are currently considering potential breaches of the Covid legislation in Wales."
This comes after Durham Constabulary concluded the Prime Minister's special adviser Dominic Cummings may have committed a 'minor breach' of coronavirus guidelines, following his 260-mile trip to his parents' farm.
The breach refers to a 50 minute journey that Cummings made to Barnard Castle while he was staying at his parents' house in the county.

Cummings has previously claimed he drove his four-year-old son and wife to the tourist spot in order to check his eyesight.
Durham Police concluded that Cummings could have been guilty of a 'minor breach' of the rules after his 12 April journey.
However, despite Durham Police issuing 137 fines to others for breaking the rules, they have concluded that no further action is necessary against Boris Johnson's most senior aide.
