The historic claim of families with pets

In Dénia there has always been a growing sector of the population that has demanded spaces to enjoy the coast in summer with their pets.

Dog beach

As we said, there is a small corner of the beach where dogs are allowed. In this, known as dog beach without more, people and dogs coexist to enjoy the sand and a good bath away from the prohibitions.
