A popular influencer from Dubai recently found herself in hot water after she shared videos of her trip to a protected beach in Sardinia, Italy. The woman, who is originally from Brazil but currently resides in Dubai, rented a dinghy and made her way to Spiaggia Rosa, a well-known beach on the island of Budelli that boasts stunning pink sand.
Unfortunately for the influencer, her actions did not go unnoticed. The local authorities caught wind of her visit after she posted multiple videos on her Instagram account, which has a following of about 35,000 people. As a result, the woman, who goes by the username @Rogeriaguiadubai, has since made her account private to avoid any further backlash.
However, her videos had already been picked up by the Italian media, causing a public outcry of indignation. In one of the videos, the woman can be heard describing the island as "wonderful". The clip then cuts to her footprints in the sand, accompanied by the iconic song "La Vie en rose" by Édith Piaf.
According to local media, it is believed that the woman ignored warning buoys in order to reach the beach. 9news.com.au reached out to the influencer via email for a comment, but there has been no response as of yet.
It is important to note that tourists have been prohibited from walking on Spiaggia Rosa for many years due to concerns about sand theft. However, visitors are allowed to take a boat to the island and walk on a designated path behind the beach during the day. Despite this, the woman chose to disregard these rules and arrived on the island on an unauthorized vessel.
As a result, officials from the La Maddalena Coast Guard issued the influencer with a hefty fine of €1,800. This included a €300 charge for disobeying the ban and an additional €1,500 for arriving on the island via an unauthorized vessel. It is a reminder to all tourists to respect the rules and regulations put in place to protect these beautiful and delicate environments.
