Pet-friendly campsites on the Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca is increasingly becoming the favourite destination for those travelling in a motorhome with their pets.

Over 240 km of coastline, 11 official dog beaches and a range of campsites that have firmly committed to pet-friendly tourism make Alicante province a leading destination in Spain for travellers with pets.

Why is the Costa Blanca ideal for travelling with pets?

Unlike other Mediterranean coastal destinations, the Costa Blanca has developed real infrastructure for pet tourism. El Campello was a pioneer in opening the province's first dog beach in 2013, and since then other municipalities have followed suit. Today, from Dénia to Orihuela Costa, you'll find signposted beaches, campsites with exercise areas for dogs, and motorhome areas with specific pet services.

Moreover, Alicante's privileged climate — with over 320 days of sunshine a year — allows you to enjoy these facilities at virtually any time of year, something motorhome travellers know well and take advantage of outside peak season, when pitches have more space and prices are more reasonable.
