Summer is around the corner - but where to take your pet to swim?

Malta is very pet-friendly, and luckily for dog owners, there are several beautiful spots around Malta and Gozo where our furry friends can safely enjoy the sea, sunshine, and outdoor adventures with us 🐾☀️

Whether your dog enjoys swimming, digging in the sand, or simply relaxing by the water, these beaches are perfect for a summer outing together. Remember to always bring:

  • Fresh drinking water
  • Poop bags
  • Towels & shade
  • Tick & flea protection
  • And avoid the hottest hours during summer
