It's on the southeast coast of Sardinia and it's in the news because you can only bring a parasol onto the beach if you're in the company of somebody under 10 or over 65.
If you're not, you can't.
And after this announcement was made, the comments were, to put up an umbrella, I have to rent a child.
Question mark, question mark.
So to come to the beach with an umbrella, I either bring my grandad or need to have a child between now and tomorrow.
There was a fire there last year and it's only reopened now, a devastating wildfire, which was started by arsonists.
So for this reason, it's necessary to limit human impact and ensure the protection of this heritage for future generations.
So that's why they're doing it.
Of course, you could argue that by not allowing people to bring parasols, then they're exposed to the sun.
And we know what that does.
Part of that story as well is the fact that on private beaches, the cost of renting out parasols and loungers has gone through the roof.
So people are migrating to public beaches, which is putting pressure on them.
And the story goes on.
I don't think it's a problem we'll ever have in this country.
What do you think?

Good morning, Ray and Jenny.
