Not only are sand and shells thrown into bags as souvenirs from the tourist destinations visited, but rudeness is rampant and, despite the prohibition signs, transgression is the order of the day.

"Uncouth" tourists also arrive on the island of Asinara National Park where, in defiance of the Authority's regulations, they drag their boats to the shore, ignoring the delicate environmental system.

Three dinghies were spotted on the shoreline of Cala delle Barche Napoletane, one of the beaches lapped by the crystal-clear sea not far from Cala D'oliva. These motorized boats were "parked" directly on the sand, just to have all the comforts within easy reach.

Some outraged visitors reported the incident to law enforcement, emphasizing that "the rules are well known and recited by heart, yet they continue to pretend nothing is happening." Carabinieri officers arrived on the scene and immediately reported the incident, ordering the boats to move away.

During these months of increased tourist traffic, the Carabinieri station has detected several violations by tourists who violate the rules protecting the Park and the marine protected area.
