Benidorm's beaches will continue to be parceled out in May and without hammock service

Benidorm's beaches will continue in May with the same organization model and the same services that they have had during the months of March and April. In this way, as reported by the mayor of the department, Mónica Gómez, “the division of the sandy areas is maintained, with spaces of 16 square meters (4x4 meters) to ensure physical distance; a surveillance and rescue service made up of 19 personnel and with a boat and ambulance; as well as an extensive cleaning service in morning and afternoon, complementing the usual night service ”.

The plenary will vote this Monday, April 26, on the organization proposal, based on the ‘safe beaches’ model and in which the hammock and umbrella rental service continues to be suspended.

Gómez recalled that "at the end of February the plenary session approved the organization of the beaches for the months of March and April, and agreed to determine at the end of this month the services that were going to be provided as of May, taking into account the evolution of the pandemic and current restrictions ”.

After collecting the relevant technical reports, "we have decided to set the services for May now and determine later those to be provided in June and summer, with a view to the expected reactivation of mobility and tourism activity."

Thus, "the services of our beaches will be modulated according to the demand and use of them, always under the premise of health security, guaranteeing capacity and physical distance and ensuring at the same time the enjoyment of all the users ”.

The councilor has emphasized that "Benidorm Beach Safety' project that we implemented in June 2020 after the reopening of our sandy areas allows us this modulation according to the needs and enjoy a beach for all people, managing with all the guarantees peaks an influx of more than 43,500 people, like the ones we registered last summer in August ”.
