Fishing on Ceuta beaches without a licence is impossible for anyone over 16. Local rules ban shore fishing. Find out before you cast your line.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Forget about fishing on the beaches of Ceuta without a licence if you are over 16; local regulations are clear on this and also ban fishing from the shore.
The situation is pretty clear if you want to cast a line off the coast of **Ceuta**. The rules of the **Autonomous City** put everything in place: to fish at sea, if you are **16 or older**, you need your recreational sea fishing licence. There is no freshwater fishing here, so forget about excuses on that front.
## minors and supervision
There is a loophole for the youngest. **Minors under 16** may fish without their own licence, provided they are accompanied by an adult who holds a valid and current administrative licence. It is a way for children to take up the hobby, but under supervision and with the paperwork in order on the adult's part.
## beaches and restrictions
Now, what may interest you most: fishing on the beach? Well, here comes the catch. The municipal regulations of **Ceuta** explicitly ban fishing from the shore on its beaches. Exceptions are only made for very specific events, such as fairs or competitions that are organised and specially authorised. If it is not one of those cases, better look for another spot or wait until you have the licence and check the permitted areas.
