Since this subforum is for infomation about the forum itself, I'm going to move your post to the Spain forum, in the By Country section.

And welcome to the forum!

I'm assuming that by "beach business" you mean one of those little stands along the beach. Someone living in Spain may have more information, but my suspicion is that the licensing or authorization for that sort of thing is done through the local city or town government.

It could well depend on which stretch of beach you're thinking about.
Cheers,
Bev

Most of the beaches are strictly controlled. I can only talk for the CB North but the only businesses on there are Bars and sunlounger rentals.

I suspect because of this that it is not a business you would get a licence for

Oh OK, so you will also an ICC to set up to hire them then. Iirc in Spain you have to have an ICC or day skipper licence to be able to hire a boat as well.

Cant help you with the licence fee I'm afraid though
