This summer, beach clothes are only allowed on the beach and the dike in Knokke-Heist. Anyone walking around in beach clothes in other areas of the city risks a fine of up to 350 euros. Last year, a playful suggestion was already made for a similar ban. Then the dress code was painted on the road. This year too, the dress code will be clearly indicated in the street scene, but it is also included in the police regulations and infringements can be fined.
“We wanted to raise awareness last year, but last week we noticed that people really don’t follow the rules,” said Wittesaele. According to the ships, this mainly concerns people who also do not respect the corona rules. “So we want to take strict action in all areas and the police will also check well,” says Wittesaele.
