Marbella's lifeguard services carried out a total of 650 interventions along the coastline during the special rescue measures deployed for Easter Week.

The majority of actions - 55 per cent - were related to enforcing compliance with municipal bylaws, while rescue tasks accounted for 35 per cent. The remainder of the activity consisted of medical assistance (8 per cent) and boat rescue operations (1 per cent).

The regulatory department recorded 362 interventions. A notable number of these were warnings regarding the presence of dogs in unauthorised areas, which accounted for 216 preventive actions, with a particular focus on Cabopino beach. Additionally, 46 interventions involved water sports in restricted areas, such as kitesurfing or windsurfing, alongside 41 warnings for fishing outside permitted hours. Other incidents were linked to beach cleanliness, bather monitoring, and isolated cases of illegal camping.
