Bather claims to have found paid foot-washing stations at this Algarve beach and questions the practice: see what the law says

A bather questioned on social media the legality of paying to use foot-washing stations at Monte Gordo beach in the Algarve, finding it strange that equipment to remove sand from feet would have an associated cost. The article explains that, although beaches are public spaces with free access, services such as foot-washing stations and showers can be operated under license or concession, provided the price is visible before use. The Coastal Zone Management Plan applicable to Monte Gordo guarantees free access to sanitary facilities, but does not impose the same rule for showers and foot-washing stations. The charge would only be illegal if the exploration title required free use or if the price was not posted visibly.
