Beaches and coves

Dog-friendly beaches in Costa Brava

On the Costa Brava a dog beach is municipal and seasonal: Rec del Molí, Rubina, Griells — not “every cove”.

Know before you go. Travel together.

L’Escala (Rec del Molí), Empuriabrava/Roses (Rubina, first in Spain in 2010) and L’Estartit (Griells) have marked dog stretches. Begur and Cadaqués mean a leashed coastal path and summer bans in many coves.

A hotel “200 m from the beach” does not tell you if that stretch allows dogs in August. NomaPaw ties the stay to the town rule.

Know before you go

  • Summer: many urban stretches ban dogs 10:00–19:00 or all day.
  • Lead on the camí de ronda; off-lead only where signed.
  • Water, bags, shade: few beach bars take dogs at the counter.

Cadaqués in August with a dog?
Old town and many coves: not in the water. Use Rec / Rubina or come off-season.
