Not only are sand and shells thrown into bags as souvenirs from the tourist destinations visited, but rudeness is rampant and, despite the prohibition signs, transgression is the order of the day.

"Uncouth" tourists also arrive on the island of Asinara National Park where, in defiance of the Authority's regulations, they drag their boats to the shore, ignoring the delicate environmental system.

Three dinghies were spotted on the shoreline of Cala delle Barche Napoletane, one of the beaches lapped by the crystal-clear sea not far from Cala D'oliva. These motorized boats were "parked" directly on the sand, just to have all the comforts within easy reach.

Some outraged visitors reported the incident to the police, emphasizing that "the rules are well known and repeated by heart, but people continue to pretend nothing is happening."

During these months of increased tourist traffic, the Carabinieri station has detected several violations by tourists who violate the rules protecting the Park and the marine protected area.
