Rincón de la Victoria regulates beach use for summer: smoke-free, allows 3x3 tents, and prohibits camping

Rincón de la Victoria/The City Council of Rincón de la Victoria announced this Friday the municipal decree regulating the use and enjoyment of the municipality's beaches during the summer season, which will begin next Sunday, June 1st, and will continue until September 15th.

Among the main measures included, the installation of personal tents with a maximum size of 3x3 meters is allowed, provided they are placed at a minimum distance of 15 meters from the shore at high tide. However, camping, as well as the use of tents, structures with tarpaulins, or similar enclosures, is prohibited.

Additionally, the smoke-free zones are maintained where smoking is completely prohibited. These areas are located in Rincón de la Victoria, between Diosa Noctiluca and Plaza Pepe El Boticario; in La Cala del Moral, between Sala Mare Nostrum and the accessible bathing point for people with reduced mobility; and in Torre de Benagalbón, between the mouth of the Serrezuela stream and Calle Planetario.

Due to the severe water shortage situation, beach showers will be disabled, and only the use of foot showers will be allowed.

Furthermore, no permits will be granted for barbecues or beach fires on any of the municipal beaches. Restrictions are also set for fishing, which is prohibited from the shore and underwater between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM during the bathing season, as well as in the cliff area of El Cantal at any time.

The decree also includes other prohibitions, such as street vending or providing services without proper municipal authorization, the parking and circulation of motor vehicles on the beach, the reservation of physical space at any time of day or night, the occupation of existing oases, and the practice of sports or recreational activities that may be bothersome to other users, both on the sand and in the water.

The municipal Beaches Councilor, Sergio Díaz, stated that “as usual, a manual for responsible use of the beaches and their facilities has been prepared, with measures focused on environmental protection and health safety.”

Meanwhile, the mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado, emphasized “the importance of respecting these rules to ensure coexistence, enjoyment, and tranquility for both residents and visitors. Our commitment is to offer optimal and safe beaches for everyone.”

The City Council of Rincón reminds citizens of the importance of respecting these rules to ensure the conservation of the beaches and their proper use by all residents and visitors.
