A bit about local regulations
Almost all the beaches of Rimini and the surrounding area are divided into numbered zones. Each is serviced by a separate owner, who provides reception, childrenās and sports grounds, a shower and changing cabins at his site. There are also the main attributes of a beach holiday: sunbeds and umbrellas. Here and there are bars and small cafes.
There is Wi-Fi on the beaches of Rimini, but you shouldnāt count on watching a movie. The maximum that will turn out is to check mail. The music flowing through the loudspeaker is sometimes interrupted by announcements in Russian, mainly about how to relax safely.
What are the flags honking?
With a certain periodicity along the coast you can see lifeguards decorated with flags, the color of which carries information about the weather and the safety of swimming. The best conditions are assumed by a white flag. It means that the gentle sea is ready to take you into its arms. If the red flag is hanging, then this may mean - or the absence of rescuers, or the sea is such that it is better not to swim. Yellow, however, signals that bathing in general is not a matter of strong winds, even umbrellas cannot be opened.
On each beach, about 20 meters from the water, there is a free zone on which it is forbidden to sit with things. But this order is often violated. Here you can see street vendors, mostly blacks, who evaporate at the slightest hint of police officers.
