Police are warning communities to be alert to large unlicensed gatherings after one was planned last weekend at Pitstone Pits.
Hertfordshire Police said the occupants of a vehicle containing large speakers admitted to planning a large gathering at the beauty spot, just across the border in Buckinghamshire.
With the gradual easing of lockdown measures, "many people have let down their guard", but social-distancing was still in place, it said.
Ch Insp Chris Treadwell said: "Not only are unlicensed raves illegal but in the current circumstances, they clearly breach the government measures stating there must be no large gatherings in order to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
"These types of events are dangerous for attendees as there are often no crowd control measures, medical staff or security provision on site.
"Many people will likely accuse us of being spoilsports but we are here to keep people safe."
As the rules surrounding coronavirus lockdown are eased this weekend with the reopening of pubs, restaurants and hairdressers, a warning is being shared by police, coastguards and beach patrols to be careful, cautious, aware of your surroundings and maintain social distancing outside of your "bubbles".
Ch Insp Lily Benbo, from Essex Police, said: "Stick to the rules, look out for each other and stay safe."
The rules include not swimming out or your depth or comfort zone, not climbing on structures in the sea where there are clear signs on them not to do so.

Lifeguards are continuing to return to beaches across the east coast.
The RNLI said this weekend they will have an extra patrol in at Southwold north beach in Suffolk, adding to Lowestoft South beach, which they returned to last month.
Lifeguards will wear personal protective equipment, and "new protocols for first responders means the lifeguards may not deal with some minor first aid cases but will support people to treat themselves", it said.
Darren Lewis, RNLI lifesaving manager, said: "We must all continue to be aware that the risks from the pandemic have not gone away, but if people work with us and the other emergency services by following social distancing and other government guidance, we hope to be able to continue to provide lifeguard services this season."
Many businesses are getting ready to welcome customers as lockdown measures are further relaxed.
