Bacoli, sea access under scrutiny: gates, restrictions, and private beaches on public land.

The sea is a common good, but in reality it is increasingly difficult to reach. This is the complaint coming from Francesco Emilio Borrelli, which once again puts the spotlight on the coast of bacoli, where access to the shoreline is reportedly impeded by gates, structures, and occupations that leave little room for residents. A new video report documents alleged abuses in the area between Nabilah and Punta Romana, reigniting the debate over compliance with the rules protecting public maritime property.

According to a citizen's report, relayed by the MP, the only public access to Nabilah beach, regularly marked by state-owned signs, is closed by a gate operated at discretion. On several occasions, some bathers were reportedly stranded inside the area, requiring the intervention of the police. Carabinieri to allow the exit. A situation that, if confirmed, would transform a public right into a de facto private concession.

The complaint continues along the coastline, where the Punta Romana restaurant would extend all the way to the water's edge, obscuring the pedestrian walkway required by law. This narrowing would prevent residents from walking along the shoreline and reaching the rest of the promenade, disrupting the continuity of public access to the sea.

“The images are unequivocal, here we are witnessing an appropriation of spaces that belong to everyone,” says Borrelli, who announces a meeting with the mayor. Josi Gerardo Della Ragione to verify permits and documentation. The stated goal is an immediate restoration of legality, because the maritime state property, the MP reiterates, cannot become a territory of conquest. Otherwise, he calls for severe sanctions and the possible revocation of concessions for those who continue to block the sea from citizens.
