Brits face £635 high quality for peeing in sea as some ask who’ll implement it, jellyfish?

Holidaymakers who pee in the sea in Spanish hotspot Marbella could be fined hundreds of pounds.

Tourists visiting the popular resort could find themselves spending a lot more than a penny if they relieve themselves in the water. Authorities in the southern Spanish city are set to fine bathers £635 as part of new plans to clean up the Costa del Sol.

They are cracking down on anyone they find guilty of “physiological evacuation in the sea and on the beach”. It comes after lawmakers in Vigo, a city in the Galicia region, rolled out a similar rule two years ago.

But the proposals have been ridiculed by critics who have suggested it will be impossible to enforce.

One source who was interviewed on local TV show ‘Tiempo al tiempo’ said: “Who’s going to find the culprits – the jellyfish?”

Other outlets openly criticised the measure, who claimed that weeing in the sea was “one of the most widespread customs in our country”.

The measure has actually been in place in the region of Malaga since 2004 – but with much lower penalties.

Bathers can currently be fined up to £250 at present if they are caught urinating at the beach.

But the fines would be bumped up considerably if the new legislation passes, along with a raft of other measures.

They include a string of new restrictions limiting ball games and paddleboards in parts of beaches.

People will also have to get permission to hold parties and public events including sporting competitions.

Parking caravans or motorhomes by the beach will also be prohibited where it “contravenes the applicable traffic regulations”.

The measures come months after authorities on the island of Mallorca rolled out new penalties to crack down on chaos created by drunken tourists.
