Orihuela Local Police have caught a diver spearfishing with a harpoon gun in a designated bathing area on Orihuela Costa.

The incident happened during a routine summer patrol by the force’s Maritime Unit, which monitors the coastline throughout the busy holiday season. Officers spotted the man fishing in an area reserved exclusively for swimmers and intercepted him.

Police say spearfishing is strictly prohibited in bathing zones because it poses a serious risk to people using the beach. Anyone caught breaking the rules can face fines of up to €760.

The force has also reminded beach users that boats and other vessels are not permitted to navigate through designated bathing areas, where penalties can reach €2,000. With beaches crowded during the summer months, officers are urging residents and visitors to follow safety regulations so everyone can enjoy the coastline safely.
