Dog beaches on the Costa Brava

Rec del Molí, Rubina and Griells are not one beach. Town, season and stretch before the dog hits the water.

Know before you go. Travel together.

The query wants names, not a county. L’Escala: Rec del Molí, fine sand, municipal rule. Empuriabrava/Roses: Rubina, first in Spain in 2010, Aiguamolls next door. L’Estartit: Griells, short, facing the Medes. Port de la Selva: Ribera (town stretch) and Port de la Vall. Llançà: Sant Jordi, small, no services.

In August many town beaches ban dogs: Tossa, Lloret, Palamós Gran. Pere Grau (Palamós) and some Port de la Selva laterals are year-round — check the sign. The coastal path is not a beach: lead on.

A hotel “10 minutes from a dog beach” may be Riells (the Rec) or a village where the dog cannot go down in August. NomaPaw shows the fee and the real distance, not a roundup list.

Know before you go

  • Rec del Molí (L’Escala): the reference dog stretch; summer hours at the town hall.
  • Rubina (Empuriabrava): year-round; busy weekends.
  • Griells (L’Estartit): family-scale, not the Rec.
  • Ribera / Port de la Vall (Port de la Selva): signed laterals.
  • August: urban bans — do not assume “Costa Brava = free”.

Frequently asked questions

Which dog beaches are on the Costa Brava?
The reference ones: Rec, Rubina and Griells. Then laterals in Port de la Selva and coves like Sant Jordi (Llançà). The rest depends on the month.
Can I take the dog to Tossa or Lloret in August?
On the town stretches, almost never. Look for a named dog stretch or the off-season.
Hotel near the Rec?
L’Escala. The listing shows terrace access and the fee.
