NOTE: Before you take your dog on any beaches, take a good look for any signs prohibiting access.

Situated at the end of Cortadura beach, starting from Torregorda, the dog beach extends for almost 500 metres, up to a breakwater that blocks access to the military zone on the other side. The dog-friendly beach is also separated from the swimming area by a 40-metre buffer zone at the opposite end from the breakwater.
