Holidaymakers heading to Spain warned of Benidorm beach rules that could land them huge fines

Millions of Brits will be jetting off to Spain for their summer holidays in the coming weeks to soak up the sunshine - but holidaymakers heading to one of the most popular tourist hotspots have been warned of a number of rules in place that could see them hit with hefty fines.

Benidorm is known for its buzzing nightlife, attracting around seven million tourists from the UK each year - but its reputation as the so-called "party capital" of the Costa Blanca has led to local authorities tightening restrictions on what visitors can and can't do when staying there. The destination's famous golden beaches have been a major focus of these changes, with a series of regulations now in place in order to help keep them clean and tidy, BirminghamLive reports.

There are five beaches for tourists to enjoy - Levante, Poniente, Mal Pas, Almadrava and Tio Ximo. According to BenidormSeriously, there are a number of rules in place that people should know if they're planning to visit any of them in order to avoid penalties of up to 2,000 euros.
