CroatiaItaly has introduced strict measures this summer to combat mass tourism at its most popular beaches. Visitors will need to book their visits in advance at many locations, with visitor numbers limited to protect nature and sensitive coastal ecosystems. These rules apply to several well-known sites, including Sardinia and Liguria. On Sardinia’s famous La Pelosa beach, daily attendance is capped at 1,500 visitors, requiring prior online booking via a QR code. Entry fees vary by location, with some beaches also charging for parking and prohibiting sunbeds and tents except for families with children under ten and people over 65. Similar restrictions apply to other beaches across Italy, including in Liguria and the Aeolian Islands. In addition to limiting access, some areas are expanding sunbed spaces to provide more privacy while testing new individual sunbeds equipped with solar panels and apps to manage sunbed availability.
