Many people who spend their holidays at the seaside do not consider the financial consequences of thoughtless acts. We constantly break the rules, e.g. taking photos while standing on the breakwater or swimming in the sea when the red flag is flying on the beach. In this way, we not only endanger our safety, but also reduce the budget for holiday attractions, because the action often ends with a fine. Check what behaviors are undesirable.
What is not allowed on the sea beach? The list of prohibitions is impressive
Each city beach has its own regulations that tourists should follow. If our behavior deviates from the established norms, the police or city guard can impose a fine on us and ask us to leave the bathing area. The amount of the fine depends on local regulations and the decision of the officer who catches us in the act. What can we be punished for?
- It is forbidden to enter the breakwaters. This is a dangerous situation that threatens our lives and health. If we break this regulation, we face a fine of up to PLN 200.
- See a red flag hanging out? Don’t go into the water. This means that the sea is rough and tragedy can easily happen. The fine for breaking the ban can be up to PLN 500.
- Drinking alcohol and littering on the beach. These are offenses that have a similar penalty schedule. For each of them, you can pay 500 PLN.
- Lighting a fire without permission. A bonfire on the beach is possible, but you must report to the maritime office in advance for a permit. If you make one without permission, you risk a fine of PLN 500. However, if the fire you started is deemed particularly dangerous and poses a fire hazard, the case may go to court and the fine will increase to PLN 5,000.
- In addition you can’t camp on the beach without permission and walking dogs in places where there is absolute ban on bringing animals.

What You Can’t Do on the Baltic Sea? Some of the Prohibitions Are Absurd
Recently we have come across a new fashion that concerns strange prohibitions in Baltic Sea resorts. Did you know that you can pay up to PLN 2,000 fine for frying fish in your apartment?? This is the situation in Mielno, where owners of places strictly prohibit culinary excesses. Other cities, such as Władysławowo or Jastarnia, also do not tolerate the preparation of fish. However, there you will pay much less, because the fine is PLN 600. Ustronie Morskie is infamous for banning high heels in cottages and apartments.which would increase silence in the facilities. There was also an absolute ban on smoking, unpleasant odors did not bother non-smoking guests. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
