Protected Sardinian beaches, between rules and prohibitions we go in no particular order

Limited entrances, limited parking, tickets, and then a series of rules and norms of behavior , some between sustainability and etiquette, which in principle should be part of everyone's cultural baggage - such as not abandoning waste on the beach or not blasting music - others rightly imposed in the name of the sacrosanct protection of fragile and precious ecosystems, for example not laying out "absorbent" towels or rinsing your feet before leaving the coast, so as not to take away even a grain of sand.

Then, the most disparate prohibitions, and each administration has its own: food is prohibited, woe betide anyone who plays football or Frisbee, no smoking, and so on . The fact is that once again on the Island we are going in a scattered order and there is no app or site that encompasses the entire "system" , which today consists of just fifteen beaches in ten municipalities.

"Each municipality must make its own tender for the service," emphasizes the Tourism Councilor Franco Cuccureddu , "the Region cannot establish a single booking center. What we do is insert the information into the "Sardegna Turismo" portal, not in a specific link, but in each entry relating to the beach. Furthermore, in the maps that we distribute at the Fairs there is the Qr Code of some of these locations. Of course, it is necessary to communicate well to the outside world what the rules and access options are , in case a tourist who perhaps has rented an expensive villa or chosen a hotel on the coast, "discovers" when it is here that he cannot go to a certain beach. A negative review can ruin the reputation of an entire territory."

However – continues the councilor – « the restricted number is only the tip of the iceberg of the environmental and social sustainability of tourist flows concentrated in a few months . The problems we are facing are different, from insufficient camper areas, to purifiers that go haywire, to the very few traffic policemen on duty».
