Enhanced Beach Safety Measures Rolled Out in Sant Antoni

For those basking in the beauty of Ibiza's beaches this season, there's added peace of mind coming your way. Sant Antoni de Portmany's local police have launched this year's Beach Territorial Unit to ramp up safety along the municipal coastline during the bustling tourist months. With their shiny electric bikes and jet skis, these four officers offer a visible and effective presence on the beaches from es Pouet to Cala Salada. Having successfully tackled issues like illegal street vending before, the unit's proactive approach is a reassuring presence both for holidaymakers and the local community. Their influence stretches beyond just beach patrols, with strategically coordinated actions with other police services ensuring a safe and enjoyable seaside experience. Last year, their concerted efforts led to over 2,000 interventions, of which 115 targeted illegal sales, highlighting their ongoing commitment to maintaining the island's relaxed vibe.
