Marbella Clarifies Controversial Beach Urination Fine

City council denies plans to penalize urinating in the sea, focusing instead on beachside infractions.

Initial reports suggested fines up to €750 for urinating in the sea, causing public ridicule.
Marbella's council clarified that the bylaw targets beachside urination, not open water.
Repeat offenders could face fines up to €1,500 under the new regulations.
The decree also includes bans on loud music, annoying ball games, and dogs swimming outside designated areas.
Similar measures have been enacted in other Spanish cities, such as Vigo and Málaga.
