Three of Marbella’s beaches are to be equipped with permanent lifesaving devices that can assist in rescuing swimmers from the water year-round.
The town hall last week announced the plan to install the ‘Punto Naranja’ (Orange Point) devices, which consist of a large orange box containing a safety harness to be worn by rescuers, with a long tether attached to it that automatically reels them back in to shore once they have reached the swimmer in trouble.
