Playa de la Escollera Norte
This project encountered some problems because, according to an environmental study, the presence of dogs on the beach could affect the nesting of the Kentish plover.
Ports, which owns this beach, also initially refused to authorize people to enter with their dogs.
Finally, on July 21, 2016, Dénia Town Council obtained approval from the Environment Department and Ports, and this dog-friendly beach can now be enjoyed.
Playa Punta del Río Sec
If you are going on vacation with your pet and looking for dog beaches in Alicante, you can now enjoy a few days at the beach with them thanks to this initiative by Campello Town Council, the first of its kind in the province of Alicante.
The beach reserved for our ARISTODOGS is Cala de Punta del Riu Sec, a small pebble beach located at the mouth of the Seco River, between Carrerlamar and Muchavista beaches.
It is a small cove frequented by surfers, set in nature, easy to access, and very central. It is also located 500 meters from a dog park.
Playa del Barranc
On March 31, 2016, Campello Town Council approved its new project for a second dog beach.
This is Cala del Barranc d’Aigües, located in the northern area of El Campello, next to Llomes de Reixes beach. This dog-friendly beach has also been available since summer 2018.
Campello is thus at the forefront of pet-friendly tourism in the province of Alicante. This dog beach is a natural beach, protected by a small cliff and practically untouched, with pebbles and gravel.
It is next to the protected natural area of Lloma de Reixes, crowned by the Almohad tower of Barranc d’Aigües.
Cala El Xarcó
El Xarco Dog Beach in Villajoyosa opened in 2015 and remains open to our dogs in 2018. It is a small natural beach made up of gravel and rock, located south of the city.
The right-hand side of the beach is designated for dogs. The ordinance was approved on May 21, 2015, and since then, many ARISTODOGS have been able to enjoy a great day at the beach with their owners.
Caleta el Gossets
The Dog Beach in Santa Pola next to the cape opened on May 1, 2016. It is a small cove (Caleta dels Gossets) belonging to the Cuartel Coves, located next to the Cabo de Santa Pola Natural Park.
It is a natural beach with basic facilities, made up of rock and sand. Its new name is “Caleta dels Gossets.
“Playa dels Gossets” is located next to Cabo de Santa Pola and is one of the most popular dog beaches in the province of Alicante.

The Dog Beach at Agua Amarga, Alicante, opened in 2016, and this year, 2019, it remains open to our ARISTODOGS.
It is a 250-meter stretch of beach at Agua Amarga, between Alicante and Urbanova. This dog beach in Alicante has tethering points, adapted umbrellas, designated waste bins, and platforms with disposable containers to use as food or water bowls.
You can also find a kiosk selling refreshments and food for our ARISTODOGS. (Although the beach is open all year round, the services are only available during the summer season, from June to September.)
It is one of the best-equipped dog beaches in the province of Alicante.
Playa Mar y Montaña
This is the dog beach in Altea. It is a small area on the town’s northern coastline, near the Villa Gadea development, in the beach area between the ”Mar y Montaña” port and the reef.
It is a non-urban area with few bathers, and for years has been frequented by residents who want to take a dip with their pets.
It is a beach with difficult access because of the large number of private developments around it, and for reasons we do not understand, Google Maps does not show the address correctly.
If you come by car, it is best to look for parking in Villa Gadea, either in the hotel parking lot or on the road down to the estate, which has two small designated parking areas. In the middle of summer and at peak times, finding parking is not easy.
Cala del Moro and Punta Margalla

Since July 2018, Torrevieja has had 2 dog beaches: Cala del Moro and Punta Margalla. These 2 dog beaches were opened provisionally, and their location may change next year, as the Town Council has postponed the public consultation on their location until next year.
– Cala del Moro beach is at the southern end of Cabo Cervera, near residential areas, and combines sand with a low cliff. Small and little-known, it is one of the city’s best beaches
– Punta Margalla is a strip of rock and stones located north of the town, between Curva del Palangre and the Las Columnas monument.
Access all year round with no time restrictions
Cala Lobella
Since summer 2018, the Valencian Community has had one more beach, Lobella. It is a natural and tranquil beach.
It is a cove made up of rock and pebbles and is very popular with water sports enthusiasts. The beach is difficult to access, so it is lightly trafficked.
Cala Les Urques
It is located in Calpe and is that municipality’s dog beach. Like the previous one, it consists of rocks and pebbles and is located next to the marina. The waves are usually moderate and the water is clear.
