For walking on colored sand, you will be fined 500 euros, which is minimal, as fines can go up to several thousand. If you are caught collecting sand with the intention of taking it home, you can also earn a 3,500 euro fine.
As the Timeout portal reports, the ban has existed for more than 30 years, but now it is being implemented much more strictly than before. The only way to visit the beach is to jump off the boat and admire it from afar. Access has always been possible only from the sea. Although the government's action may seem extreme, it is crucial to restoring the natural pink hue. After all these years of unwise behavior of tourists and destruction, its existence was threatened.
