You read the Daily Mail?

It's not "health and safety regulations", it's piss-poor risk assessment.

Surely not a story reported wrongly in the Mail? Someone else told me they sensationalise stories as well. I just wont have it

Indeed, someone on that beach was in charge and could've ok'd a bit of a paddle but they were obviously petrified of getting it wrong so erred on the side of caution and said no. The same person then hid behind the banner of "health and safety". "It's not me guv, I want them to go in but Health and safety won't allow it".
