Popular beach destination requires tourists to book spots via app or website

Beachgoers are going to have to take one extra step before catching waves and rays of sun. 

North of the island, Cala Brandinchi and Lu Impostu beaches will cap visitors, allowing only 1,447 and 3,352 people who reserve a spot on the San Teodoro app or website.

"To access the beaches, reservations are required to receive your QRCode," reads the website.

The site added, "Access to the beaches of Cala Brandinchi and Lu Impostu is subject to mandatory reservations in the period from June 1 [to] Sept. 30." 

The mayor of Teulada, Angelo Milia, said, "We hope to start with the new system as early as July," the Independent reported. 

The town of Stintino's Pelosa requires a beach ticket and prohibits the use of regular beach towels unless those are accompanied by a straw mat, according to Euronews.
