BRITS could face hefty fines if caught smoking, or playing loud music at one popular holiday spot.
In some cases, the penalty could be as much as £2,500.
The area of La Laguna in Tenerife, has approved new rules banning smoking, camping, overnight stays and disruptive music on its beaches and natural swimming pools.
The announcement was made on October 7 and has been put in place to protect the coastline.
Under the new rules, beaches within the areas and natural pools are now smoke-free.
It also stops visitors from leaving rubbish behind including soap and shampoo in public showers.
Unless there’s a a special permitted event, beachgoers are banned from playing loud music or general noise that disturbs those around them.
The new rules also state that there is a ban on camping and overnight stays on the beaches.
Within the area of La Laguna, the coastal areas where these rules have been enforced include Bajamar, Punta del Hidalgo, Jover and La Barranquera.
While there is a maximum fine of €3,000 (£2,500), it does not apply to every beach.
The amount also depends on the offence with those deemed minor having fines of €300 (£254).
In summer 2026, lots of beaches and hotels in Tenerife put rules in place to stop tourists reserving loungers and sand space with a towel.
Tourists could see their belongings confiscated and be fined up to €3,000.
It comes after strict rules were put in place across Spain for summer 2026.
