If you are looking for the ideal place to go with your pet on holiday, you should know that on the Costa Brava there are some beaches where your furry friends can play, run and swim... without the danger of paying a fine in return.

Seven beaches where it is officially allowed to go for a swim even if you have four legs. Here you have them all, from north to south:

Playa de las barcas (Beach of the boats)

Colera

Located in the center of Colera, it is the main beach of the town. Only a part of the beach is suitable for dogs... so watch out for the signs!

Playa de Sant Jordi (St. George's Beach)

Llançà

Sant Jordi beach is located in the municipality of Llançà and is great to go spend the day with the hairy people of the house. It is very easy to access from the Camino de Ronda that connects the Playa del Puerto with the Playa de Grifeu. Bear in mind that it is oriented to the northeast, so windy days can be a bit annoying. Blessed Tramuntana!

Playa de Port de la Vall y La Ribera

Port de la Selva

These two beaches located in Port de la Selva are very close to the town, so you will have no problem to go play with your pet.

Playa de La Rubina

Empuriabrava

Located between the municipality of Empuriabrava and Roses, it was the first beach for dogs in Catalonia. It is a very big beach, very easy to access and ideal to go with the whole family. Moreover, there is one of the best beach bars on the Costa Brava: the Xiringuito-x.

Playa del Rec del Molí

L'Escala

This quiet beach of l'Escala is the perfect place to go on holiday with your pet, although bear in mind that only half of the beach is suitable for dogs.

In L'Escala there are several beaches that are very frequented by hairy people and their humans, although they don't have official authorization. Be careful if you don't want to risk a fine!

Playa Els Griells

L'Estartit

In the area of El Moliner de l'Estartit, it is the only option to the north of the Baix Empordà. Even so, bear in mind that there have been several complaints from users due to its small size.
