Searching for dog beaches

When Bucky and I left Valencia on Sunday morning, we decided to take the long route home and visit the dog beaches along the way. I used the website, Radcanina, to locate the beaches that are set up specifically for people and their dogs. Between Valencia and Barcelona, there are about ten dog beaches so we tried to find each one! The weather was challenging with lots of rain and even some thunderstorms, so we didn't get out at each place, but we did visit five beaches.

Our favorite was Platja de la Platjola because the water was perfection and we were the only people (and dog!) there. The one drawback was that the beach was rocky so India couldn't run along it and chase the ball, but she enjoyed exploring. Bucky and I ended up going swimming there and it was magical. One of the beaches we found was a tiny little cove behind a cemetery. Getting down to the actual water proved to be too challenging for us so we walked along the coast and enjoyed the view.

I think it is so cool how Spain has these beaches for dogs. We had a wonderful day driving along the coast and enjoying the beaches. It took us nine hours to get home to Barcelona from Valencia, but it was well worth the time we took. India was completely exhausted!!

India is so happy on the beach!

This one was a good one for throwing the ball.

Here she is showing off another beach!

Love the flag showing us where the dog beach was!

This sign makes it official!

We found another one with sand!

This was our favorite!

This was the rocky beach, but it was LOVELY.

The water was irresistible. Bucky and I went swimming!

Another view of the lovely beach.

This is the little cove we found, but we decided not to risk life and limp to climb down there.

Just another one of India on another beach!

This is the last dog beach we visited on Sunday. There were lots of dogs enjoying it!

This is the sign for the last beach!
