Locals are allowed to swim for free: coastal town in Italy asks vacationers to pay a beach fee. In 2024, tourists in many parts of Italy will have to pay for a relaxing day at the beach.
Only a maximum of 400 guests should be allowed access at the same time. New laws are increasingly being passed that criminalize rowdy behavior on the part of tourists. The income from the beach fee should be reinvested and benefit both the community and tourists, the mayor of Sestri Levante says.
