Dog friendly Portuguese kiting spots?
Posted: Sat May 12, 2018 6:20 pm
Hi there,
Me and my husband are taking a trip this summer around Europe to do some kiting, staying in our van and bringing a little dog with us. Starting end of May the plan is to head to Tarifa for for a week or so and then drive up through Portugal for 4-5 weeks. I'm aware lots of the main beaches in Portugal don't let dogs on, and especially in summer. It sounds like there are lots of deserted beaches out of the way which dogs will be fine on, but my concern atm is that the kiting beaches might be mostly a no-go.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Or can anyone recommend great spots that are out of the way and likely to be not so busy/less people around to complain about a small dog on a lead?
We are both competent (but not expert!) kiters, usually going out on the UK south coast - so happy with a range of conditions including some waves
Would be great if anyone had any tips! Am also unsure if Tarifa is a good bet in early June but hoping to avoid the worst of the crowds by going as early as we can - this might be a fantasy though, having heard how busy it gets!?
Thanks for any tips!
