Holidaymakers face being landed with a hefty fine for breaking a new beach rule in parts of Spain.

Benidorm is also making beaches off-bounds between midnight and 7am to keep drunks leaving the late night bars and discos from having sex in the sand, while daytime beachgoers will be banned from playing ball games, urinating in the sea, and drinking alcohol.

The new rules, which took effect on 1 July, mean tourists who light up on any of the beaches in the city will be issued a 30 euro . At all Spanish beach showers, it is illegal to wash with soap and shampoo because the products are harmful to marine life. Those caught breaking the rules can be fined up to £620.Eleven seaside restaurants on the island of Mallorca have banned tourists from wearing certain clothes associated with “drunken tourism”.

In Barcelona, people can only wear bikinis on the beach and those caught wearing one in the town centre could face a fine of up to £260. Bikinis are also restricted to beaches in Majorca, with fines of up to £500 for those who flout the rules. The rules also apply to shirtless men in both areas.
