Temporary Superintendent Nathan Clark, of Norfolk Police, said the pair were found "in a state of undress" at the beauty spot.
And he warned the force would ‘come down hard’ on anyone flouting Covid regulations which ban travelling beyond your local area.
Supt Clark said: “With warmer weather forecast this weekend, we understand that people will want go outside and make the most of it following the recent spell of snow and freezing temperatures
“This, combined with the 'lockdown fatigue' which has firmly set in for many people, naturally leads to the temptation of a change of scenery.
“However, it's important to remember that lockdown rules remain in place and any journeys we make should be made for essential purposes only.”
The pair were one of 59 people fined by Norfolk Police for breaching lockdown between February 12 and the following Monday.
