Images show people setting up large umbrellas by staking the pole through the sand in a bid to claim their territory before the Brit holidaymakers wake up. Rows of colourful parasols and striped deckchairs line the beachfront as the locals ensure they get the best spots to soak up the sun when it rises. Dressed in shorts and sandals, Benidorm locals have been pictured helping each other with their set-ups, all while Brit and German tourists are tucked up in bed. Pitched right in front of the seafront, the competitive locals are taking the front seat in the sunbed wars, forcing other travellers to squeeze in behind them later on in the morning. Flip-flop footprints line the sandy banks with rows of umbrellas and towels seen stretching the entire length of the beachfront. After their midnight shift of setting up their sunbed gear, locals have also been snapped relaxing in their colourful chairs as they stare out into the black water. Photos taken in the morning show empty deckchairs and umbrellas held to the ground with weighted bags after the locals successfully claim their top spots. But this isn’t the first time people have made a mad dash in the battle for the best sunbed. One bloke left TikTok users in hysterics after he was filmed sprinting for the sunbeds at a Spanish resort before dumping five towels down as others scrambled for a space. The rest of the holidaymakers didn’t stand a chance as he skipped through the row of seats with his towels at the ready. A Brit filmed scenes described as a “worst nightmare” when holidaymakers in Majorca rushed to grab sun loungers for a day by the pool. The bloke captured the moment he described as “absolute chaos” as holidaymakers were seen hoarding stacks of sun loungers to stop others from getting them first. A couple of “sunbed warriors” were told to “go back to bed” after they were caught unstacking the sunbeds at a resort so they could put their towels down before anyone else. And the king of the sunbed hoggers told The Sun Online how to always bag the best loungers by the pool on holiday. The defiant holidaymaker shrugged off controversy over sunbed wars in sunshine resorts, insisting he is only making sure his family has a good time together.
