There are some people who do not care about the environment when they go trekking, sightseeing, are enjoying unspoiled places... I went to Cabo de Gata last weekend and, unfortunately, I could see such kind of environmentally disrecpectul people. Although we should be free to go anywhere, all of us must take care of our commom natural heritage, because there is a notable difference betwen spending your day on a touristic beach and enjoying an untouched one.
To begin with, touristic beaches offer a variaty of services and commodities like "chiringuitos", toilets, showers, first aid points, etc., but such amount of services and people generates huge piles of garbage; whereas a protected beach allows you to experience its unspoiled beauty (unless you find this kind of irresponsible people there), without the need to look for a place to fit your towel in. As for eating there, you can take your own food, and for sure it is healthier -and cheaper- than the food you can buy in a chiringuito
It is true that overcrowded beaches produce more benefits, but only for a few (builders, tourism, companies...even politicians-if they grant licenses to build in natural protected areas-). However, preserving this endangered spots will be beneficial, not only for us, but for the future generations too. Furthermore, economic profits of over-explotation last only for a short period of time.
Therefore, overcrowded beaches are damaging the environment, because of the building industry, rubbish, lack of environmental awareness...For this, we must be responsible and take care of the environment by using the common sense (if there is left any at all), before untouched beaches stop being wild too.
