If borders are open it's more than likely we wouldn't be in lockdown.

120/180 is two thirds flight capacity, which is leaving middle seat empty, seemingly what is being suggested as what social distancing will look like on board
To clarify,

I am not saying anything that we would or should be able to travel later in the summer.
I am saying that if flights to these beach destinations operate, there would be people ( a minority ) who would like to fly to these beach destinations, and airlines would be willing to sell seats that they could.

By the way, the original question was related to later in the summer. Not to confused with "June" the actual title of the thread.

Plus, there would be some people who would prefer to go on holiday later this summer to avoid markups for Summer 2021. We all know that businesses ( tourism facilities ) would like to recover their losses for 2020 in 2021.
