The Best Dog-Friendly Parks and Beaches in Barcelona

As a dog lover living and working in Barcelona, I know how important it is for our furry friends to have spaces where they can play, run, and socialize freely. That’s why I’ve put together my personal guide to the best dog-friendly parks and beaches in Barcelona, so your pup can enjoy the city as much as you do!

1. Parc de la Ciutadella

This iconic park isn’t just beautiful — it’s also perfect for dogs. Your dog can enjoy long walks, explore the greenery, and even socialize with other dogs. I love taking my pups here because there’s plenty of shade, open spaces, and calm areas for relaxing.

2. Parc de la Creueta del Coll

This hidden gem in the Gràcia district has a small pond and wide open areas where dogs can roam safely. It’s one of my favorite spots for a morning walk or an afternoon play session. Your dog will love the space, and you’ll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere away from the city buzz.

3. Mar Bella Beach (Dog-Friendly Area)

Barcelona is famous for its beaches, and Mar Bella has a designated dog-friendly area. I take my dog here when I want him to splash in the water, run on the sand, and meet other friendly pups. Remember to bring fresh water and a towel — your dog will get sandy, wet, and super happy!

4. Parc del Fòrum

If your dog loves long walks and new smells, Parc del Fòrum is perfect. It’s spacious, open, and less crowded than other parks. I often go here on weekends for a fun outing with multiple dogs — they love the freedom and the fresh air.

5. Platja de Llevant

Another great dog-friendly beach, Llevant is perfect for early mornings or late afternoons. I enjoy watching my dog run along the shore, dig in the sand, and meet new friends. It’s a great way to combine exercise, socialization, and pure doggy happiness!

Tips for Visiting Dog-Friendly Places in Barcelona

• Always bring water and a bowl for your dog.

• Pick up after your dog to keep the spaces clean.

• Check the opening hours and rules — some areas have seasonal restrictions.

• Bring toys or balls for extra fun!
