With the arrival of spring and summer, it is time to return to the sea and enjoy these sunny days with the companion who is always by your side. Dog-friendly beaches in Catalonia allow you to share a day of swimming, walking and fresh air with your four-legged friend. From the Costa Brava to Terres de l’Ebre, you will find spaces designed so dogs can also enjoy the sand and the water. Before going, we recommend checking the regulations of each municipality, as opening times, access areas and conditions may vary depending on the season. Dog-friendly beaches on the Costa Brava The Costa Brava combines fishing villages, small coves, rocky landscapes and beaches open to the north wind. It is a good option if you are looking for a getaway with Mediterranean character, with spots where you can swim with your dog and round off the day with a walk by the sea. Llançà and Colera Sant Jordi Beach, Llançà: small, pleasant and set among rocks and sand, it is a practical option for enjoying a swim with your dog in Alt Empordà. Its atmosphere is usually peaceful, although it is worth being careful on days when the tramuntana wind blows. Les Barques Beach, Colera: located in a fishing village close to the French border, this beach has a simple and welcoming feel. It is easy to access and lets you combine time on the beach with a walk through the town centre or along the seafront. Cadaqués and Portlligat Dog-friendly coves around Cadaqués: Sant Pius V cove, Es Sortell, Pep Ton cove and Es Calders. These are small spots closely linked to the landscape of Cap de Creus, ideal for a charming, unhurried outing. Empuriabrava and the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà La Rubina Beach, Empuriabrava: this is one of the best-known dog-friendly beaches in Catalonia. Located near the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, it offers a wide, natural setting, with fine sand and a sense of space that makes it very comfortable to visit with your dog. Palamós and Baix Empordà Pere Grau Beach, Palamós: this small urban cove is located next to the port of Palamós. It is a sheltered alternative for a swim with your dog, especially outside the busiest hours. Its small size invites a short, peaceful stay.
