Pet-friendly beaches on the Orihuela Coast
Ideal destinations to enjoy with your dog

The beaches and coves of Orihuela Costa not only offer excitement and adventure for us, but also for our pets. These beautiful destinations allow dogs and other pets to enjoy the fresh sea water and large areas where they can run and play. In addition, the Orihuela Costa Town Hall has designated several specific areas of the coast for dogs and their owners to enjoy the environment together.
In recent years, more beaches on the Costa Blanca have opened their doors to pets, allowing them access to delimited areas. Some of these beaches even have drinking stations and bathing areas for dogs.

When planning a trip to the beach with your pet, there are some essential items you should not forget: water, bags for droppings, leash, collar with name tag and contact number, and an updated photo of your dog in case it gets lost.
Basic rules of beach etiquette for dog owners
It is important to follow a set of rules to ensure respectful coexistence on the beach:
Respect the rules on the use of the leash: be sure to keep your dog on a leash, except in areas where off-leash dogs are allowed.
Always clean up after your dog: hygiene is essential for everyone's enjoyment.
Keep your dog away from other bathers and animals: unless your dog is allowed to play with others.
Make sure your dog is well behaved: should be friendly and respond to verbal commands.
Keep an eye on your dog at all times: keep your dog from wandering off to ensure its safety.
