beaches are one of the most precious treasures that nature offers us; swimming, walking along the shore, have fun with friends, family or just relax on the sand are pleasures that we can only enjoy on the beach. Many times it is not given the value it has, and in many other do not take care of this environment as it deserves.

Laziness, to think that the beach care and cleaning is responsibility of each town hall or the lack of awareness in this field, are factors which decrease the quality of our beaches, its value and the damage of its image.

We have at our disposal a natural paradise which takes care of our leisure time. It is a fact that in many coasts of other European countries a fee is charged for access to the same; in Spain, we have the best beaches and totally for free, more than valuable reasons to treat them as the treasure they are.
