Answer

Who checks whether beach operators in Mallorca have the right permits?

Beach operations in Mallorca are checked by coastal oversight teams, the local municipality and, in some cases, police. During the high season, those services can be stretched, which makes enforcement more difficult. If there are doubts about permits or beach boundaries, the authorities can review the site and decide whether the offer is allowed.
