Do's and don'ts on Spain beach: Peeing on sand can land you in big trouble

The Marbella city council introduced measures in May aimed at improving beach quality, including fines of up to €750 for individuals caught relieving themselves on the beach, excluding the sea. Repeat offenders may face penalties of up to €1500 within a year. The regulations also target other disruptive behaviours like loud music and littering, aiming to maintain a pleasant environment across Marbella's 25 beaches amid peak tourist seasons.
