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.

Useful recommendations for your visit

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.

Orihuela Coast beaches that admit pets

The following are some of the most outstanding beaches on the Orihuela Coast where pets are welcome:

  • Punta Prima Beach

La Punta Prima Beach is a picturesque seascape, with rocky coves and white sandy bays. It is known for its diverse marine life, which makes it a popular destination for lovers of snorkelling and fishing enthusiasts. This is the starting point of a coastal path that runs along the Orihuela Costa coastline until it reaches the Dehesa de Campoamor. This beach is ideal for enjoying a day out in nature with your pet.

  • Canina Beach

La Canina Beach is one of the best options for those who want a quieter and more secluded environment. Located next to the lively Mosca Cove, where you will find bars and restaurants, this beach offers shallow waters, fine sand and gentle waves. It is a perfect place for dogs to play off-leash in a relaxed atmosphere.

  • Flamenca Beach

La Flamenca Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the Costa Blanca. This beach is well maintained and has facilities such as beach umbrellas, sun loungers, toilets and beach bars. Its fine white sand is ideal for walking with your dog. It is also a popular place for families with pets, who enjoy the calm and pleasant atmosphere of the beach.
