Dog-friendly beaches and Parks – Buy a villa in The Costa Blanca

Location is always important when you choose to move house and you will want to find somewhere that is suitable for the whole family including pets. The Costa Blanca is full of people who love their furry family and as a result over the years laws have been changed to ensure that more protection is given to cats, dogs and other animals. Shelters and rescue have been established and catching/sterilisation programs are successfully operating, all of which are supported by locals who fund raise, volunteer and raise both awareness and funds. Additionally, more facilities than ever before have been made available for those who buy a villa in the Costa Blanca and have pets. There are transport services and once you are here plenty of high-quality kennels and catteries available to provide your fur babies with their own hotel if you are away from home. For dogs there are now a selection of beaches and parks where they can enjoy making friends and playing.

Playa Canina de Les Marines – Denia

Whether you have found a villa for sale in Javea, Calpe, Moraira, or Denia and even inland in the Jalon, you will still just be a short drive away from this wonderful, designated dog beach. There’s plenty of space here for them to run, swim and socialise and it’s lovely to watch them enjoy such freedom and scamper in the sand and jump the waves. Do remember to bring waste bags and always clean up before you leave.

Dog Beach – Altea

This beautiful beach which is also just a short drive away no matter where you buy a home in the Costa Blanca, set in a lovely location at La Olla beach next to Porto Senso in the Altea area is used by everyone but, has permission from the council for dogs and their owners to enjoy this pebbly beach.

There are a few other dog friendly beaches in the Northern Costa Blanca and the best way to check where they are is by looking at the BringFido website – www.bringfido.com .

Moraira Dog Park

Those who fine a house for sale in Moraira will be fortunate enough to have access to the town’s dog park where their canine friends can enjoy this lovely safe and shady area situated between the main beach and town playing and enjoying some of the agility equipment installed here which helps make the park great fun. It’s also a great area to play some training games with your canine friend or arrange playdates so that they can have a great time while you catch up with their human owners, a great way to make friends for both of you.

Ondara Water Park

The Costa Blanca is known for several great theme and water parks that the whole family can enjoy but, now in Ondara we have one that is specifically for the canine members of the family. Here you will find a dog hotel, swimming pool and beach bar. It is important that your dog has their passport/health car with them, and these must show that they have been vaccinated for rabies, polyvalent and kennel cough. Your dog can also attend school here to learn sociabilitiy, basic responsive training and in some cases behavioural training. For those dogs who enjoy a challenge they can also join in with sport disciplines and agility training.

Leisurely Walks and more

El Pinaret Park is a lovely place for those who live in Javea to enjoy a gentle walk with their dog in this shady and well-maintained greens pace. There are also designated bins for dog waste available throughout the park. The Costa Blanca is also a great place to travel inland and walk some of the valley and mountain trails with your canine friend and there are plenty of dog friendly cafes and restaurants where you can continue to enjoy family time with your pet.

Always be responsible for your pet and ensure that you maintain control of them, that they have good recall, and you keep them in sight. Ensure that they are good a socialising with other dogs, animals and humans if you are going to let them off the lead anywhere. Cleaning up after your dog is essential, good manners and will avoid hefty fines.
