Holiday homes in the Lake District continue to be advertised despite the coronavirus lockdown and a plea for people to stay away over Easter, police say.
Visits are causing "friction" with local communities, according to Cumbria Police.
It has joined forces with the county's tourism bodies to reinforce government guidelines.
They said people should only leave their homes "when necessary".
Assistant Chief Constable Andy Slattery warned people flouting the advice could be prosecuted.
'Causes friction'
"It is clear that holiday homes continue to be advertised in Cumbria and this is attracting holidaymakers," he said.
"This causes friction with the resident population who are reporting activity to the police and other local authorities.
"We recognise that some businesses have already withdrawn their advertisements and are not taking bookings and we ask others follow that lead.
"If you are considering travelling to a second home or holiday home this weekend for the holidays, I ask you please follow government guidance and stay at home and only leave when necessary."
