OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
• Access to the beach is allowed to all dog breeds as long as they are accompanied by a responsible person.
• Think about your dog: supervise it and keep it on a leash; in addition, you must always carry a muzzle with you to put on your dog in case of need.
• Don’t let your dog run wild, supervise it even when you talk to other owners or when you talk on the phone.
• Carry tools with you to pick up your dog’s poop and keep the beach clean.
• Remember that not all dogs like being around other dogs, respect other dogs’ space, ask the educators for advice, when they are present on the beach, who can suggest you how to manage some situations with confidence.
• You mustn’t take your female dog on the beach, when she is in her mating period, and it’s better not to take your dog on the beach if it has any chronic medical condition.
• Don’t force your dog to enter the water by dragging it on the leash: you can ask advice to our staff.
• Ask educators for additional services (dog sitting, dog consultancy, veterinary assistance).

CAUTION FRATINO BIRD’S NESTS
Fratino (Charadrius alexandrinus) – Kentish plover – is a small wading bird, which lives on sandy shores, included on the national Red List as an endangered species. We can observe it running fast between the dunes and the shoreline. Its nest is a simple hollow on the beach, where it typically lays three eggs, incubated for about a month.
The chicks leave the nest shortly after birth, so they are easily attacked by predators. Successful nesting also depends on your cooperation, so in order not to disturb them, don’t step on the dunes and keep your dog on a leash strictly. Don’t put this precious little animal’s life at risk.
