In summer there’s no denying the desire to go to the beach, but for those who have dogs as pets and best friends, this can sometimes be a problem.
On the one hand, we want them to accompany us at all times, but on the other, there are restrictions that must be complied with on pain of a fine. But there are dog-friendly beaches in Portugal!
There are more and more places where animals are allowed, subject to compliance with certain rules, and beaches are no exception.
It’s a joy to see our best friend playing in the sea and if you think like us, then this is good news for you.
Don’t know what they are? Are you planning your vacation and would like to take this into account?
We’ve put together a list of some dog-friendly beaches in Portugal so that everyone can make the most of their summer and vacation.
6 dog-friendly beaches in Portugal
1 – Suave Mar North Beach
2 – Ramalha Beach
3 – Coral Beach, in Viana do Castelo
4 – Praia do Porto da Areia Norte, in Peniche
5 – Praia dos Pescadores, in Oeiras
6 – Praia das Amoreiras, in Santa Cruz
These are concession beaches, i.e. already marked as dog friendly, which meet certain conditions and obligations so that dogs can go to the beach, such as:
- Dogs must always be accompanied by their owners;
- Dogs must be on a leash;
- Dogs of dangerous breeds must be muzzled;
- It is compulsory to pick up animal waste, and if the owner doesn’t have the material to do so, he will most likely find it on these beaches that are already prepared to receive animals;
- Animals that are sick, in heat, pregnant or injured should not go to the beaches;
- Owners should keep their pet‘ s vaccination records up to date.
