Spanish authorities have begun confiscating beach loungers and umbrellas from tourists who reserve prime spots but abandon them, sometimes even before sunrise. This action addresses the issue of selfish beachgoers who hog public space.

Local governments in popular Spanish tourist destinations, including the mainland, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands, have implemented fines for beachgoers who leave their loungers and umbrellas unattended while they are away, such as during lunch or naps.
