PET FRIENDLY BEACHES IN EUROPE


Pet friendly beaches in Spain:

Accepting dogs or not on the beach is regulated both by the municipal ordinances of each city council and by the Coastal Law (Law 22/1988, of July 28).
But it is always possible to find quiet beaches, beaches located in quiet areas where authorities are usually more permissive. In addition to taking advantage of the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the afternoon, it is important to check that we do not bother anyone and avoid the more crowded beaches.

Thus, in Spain it is possible to mention some beaches with the poster of “dogs welcome”:
