Italy to charge British tourists to sunbathe on famous beaches in order to protect coastline

Tourists are being warned that charges are coming in for Brits who want to sunbathe on some of Europe's most beautiful beaches.

In Sardina, charges have been brought in to try and limit visitors after a vast number of tourists have created problems for the Italian island. Over the years, the local government have put in measures to protect their most famous beaches including the famous pink sands of The Spiaggia Rosa. From the mid-1990's its been closed off from tourists and can only be seen from boats.

Now, rules are coming into place to protect more of their sandy coastline due to disrespectful behaviour from holidaymakers and overcrowding.
