Beach reservations are no longer allowed. Polish tourists will lose their belongings.

Tourists in Makarska who leave items on the beach to reserve a spot on the shoreline may lose their belongings unnoticed. The Croatian resort with access to the Adriatic Sea has had enough of vacationers who treat the beach as their own. From now on, local authorities, using a cleaning company, intend to dispose of found sunbeds and towels as waste. Tourists from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Poland are the main beneficiaries of this "securities" on the beaches .

Makarska warns tourists

The website denik.cz has warned Czech tourists against leaving items on beaches in Croatia. This isn't about going swimming and finding your bags and clothes on a sun lounger, but rather about "booking" a spot on the shore the night before. This way, vacationers can count on a convenient location, for example, in the shade or right by the sea entrance. From now on, however, such behavior will result not only in a fine, which until now hasn't really deterred tourists. Any items left on the beach will be thrown straight into the trash – making them impossible to find or recover.

Some tourists ignore the recommendations

The warning, which the city posted on social media, was met with understanding and words of support from internet users. The expected positive changes were also quickly noticed, as fewer items were indeed left on the beaches. However, they did not disappear completely. "Most people took our recommendations seriously, but some still book beach spots overnight. We will remove abandoned towels and lounge chairs for as long as necessary," city hall representatives reminded.
