A Beach Just For Dogs In Cyprus
DOGGING on an Ayia Napa beach:
It’s got lots of seaweed and quite a few rocks, but for canines and their masters on Cyprus a little bay outside Ayia Napa is a dream come true.
Designated this week as the island’s - and indeed the Mediterranean’s - first official dog beach, the off-leash paradise puts pay to a ban on dogs enjoying Cypriot seashores. “It’s a place primarily for dogs, not people, and we hope they have a nice time there,” Ayia Napa’s mayor, Antonis Tsokkos, said.

There is a similar ban here in Spain, but an animal welfare group has started a campaign to have certain areas of beach designated for dogs. I don’t think they’ll get very far! What would worry me is that my dogs wouldn’t stay within the designated area unless it had really high walls around it - they would be off to join in people’s picnics!!
