The area is popular with families and dog walkers but police said the behaviour was "inappropriate".
In a post on Facebook on Saturday afternoon, police in Ards and North Down said: "You may recall a recent post by Holywood/Peninsula Neighbourhood Team regarding 'Inappropriate Risk Taking Behaviour' of a sexual nature in Craigantlet.
"This post generated significant comments on our Facebook page and appeared on Belfast Live.
"The publicity also generated calls of a similar nature to the team where members of the public had witnessed similar circumstances at another location in the Peninsula.
"As a result of our increased patrolling of this area, two individuals were detected this afternoon in a public place and cautioned for a sexual offence.
"An interview will be conducted in due course and a file sent to the Public Prosecution Service."
Police said patrols will continue in these areas and any offending will be dealt with in a similar manner.
