Some beaches of Barcelona, ​​Tarragona and Girona allow access to dogs all year round, unlike most

The heat has arrived, the summer sun threatens their usual strength and beaches become essential. But not everyone can access. Many coastal municipalities prohibit the presence of dogs on the beaches during the summer months to avoid, say their ordinances, which may cause inconvenience to bathers. So we thought it useful to share with you this guide Catalan beaches where dogs can go.

There have been several campaigns to convince municipalities that man’s best friend also need to bathe in summer and especially to run on the sand, but the truth is that there is still much work to do. Barcelona had agreed to seek a solution in this regard, but ultimately the promise has been postponed. Other Catalan municipalities does allow for every month of the year that dogs can play some of its beaches. The debate is wide open because, by some municipalities and swimmers, dogs can create problems and dirty beaches. State law prohibits entry to the presence of dogs on beaches but each municipality can regulate, from the ordinances, if authorized bathing dogs.

Given the difficulty of knowing which beaches are accessible with the dog and what not from Tincungos analysed the regulations affecting different Catalan beaches and have divided into three groups:

• Tolerant – The dog that allow access without restriction (it is assumed that the dog must be vaccinated must be registered and can not disturb other swimmers). In this section we have also included specifying that distinction legally beaches do not allow dogs but the presence of swimmers tolerated and the Municipal Police, at least so far, no sanctions.

• RESTRICTIVE – ones that allow access to some restrictions (especially during the summer months). This section missing some beaches of Girona and Tarragona.

• Prohibitionist – Those that do not allow in any case the presence of dogs.

Although the information has been verified, it is advisable to be aware of the signs of each beach, because the rules can be changed. The trend is that increasingly there are more beaches accept dogs. If you know something that is not included in the list, please let us explain to info@tincungos.org. Here is a  guide Catalan beaches where dogs can go.
