San Jose council (home of the most popular beaches in Ibiza) just introduced new rules which will apply during the bathing season. All staff working on the beaches – hiring sun-loungers, parasols and so on - will now have to wear a recognizable uniform.
For those who like to do a bit of sunbathing in peace and quiet will see music, parties, animals and also the most annoying game in the world Bat’n'Ball finally banned.
Special areas will be set aside for football, volleyball etc., even special competitions, but these will be away from the beaches. The council are backing up the new rules with fines of up to €3000 and the presence of a beach watchman who’ll make sure that they’re observed.
