Things

to Know About Dog-Friendly Beaches in Croatia

Whether you're heading to Italy, Slovenia, or Croatia - if you want to bring your dog on vacation, be sure to check the entry requirements and rules of conduct in advance.

Dogs are generally not allowed on Croatian beaches, but there are specially designated "wild beaches" (where no one complains...) and designated dog-friendly beaches where dogs are allowed in the water. In 2016, Croatia's first dog-friendly beach opened in Crikvenica, suggesting that more will follow.

You can recognize these beaches by a round sign with a colored border:

  • Blue: Fine, dogs allowed - official dog beach.
  • Green: Also fine - unregulated beach. Dogs aren't officially allowed here, but nobody cares as long as no one gets upset.
  • Red: Dogs not allowed. If you see this sign (usually on regular beaches), you should look for somewhere else.

There is a certain stylistic variety among the signs, but for the most part, you can easily grasp the message.
