Those who smoked on the beach gave the usual excuse: “I didn’t know about the ban.” But those are the same words that vacationers who were spending their vacation on the beach with their dogs said. But woe betide anyone who makes a mistake: the eyes of the local police and the barracelli are everywhere this time. And in July, the controls will increase.

Rain of fines in the month of June along the Sinis coast, from Mari Ermi to Maimoni passing through Is Arutas and San Giovanni di Sinis: 50 in total , not counting those of the highway code.

From June 1st to June 30th , 11 people were fined for smoking cigarettes under their beach umbrellas . And yet the signs stating that smoking is only permitted on the wooden walkways are clearly on display. Violators face a 50 euro fine . Then there are those who persist in taking their dog to the beach in unauthorized spaces. There have been 13 fines so far: also in this case, 50 euros .

"And yet the Sinis offers many spaces specifically for animals - explains the mayor Andrea Abis - Why disturb the bathers who do not have animals with them?". Then there are those who still do not accept parking their cars in the permitted spaces, those delimited by the Municipality of Cabras. The fines for wild parking are already 21, almost one a day. Another five fines for abandoning waste .

The mayor: «The worst are those who leave bags full of waste accumulated on the beach at the end of the walkways. Now the checks will increase. The rules must be respected». The checks are also scheduled at night, while during the day the police are ready to go down to the beach in their bathing suits: in their bag, however, a pen and a book of fines.
