Dogs can soon start hitting the beach thanks to an initiative by the Parliamentary Secretariat for Animal Rights.

Five beaches have become dog friendly: Daħlet ix-Xmajjar in Mellieħ;, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq behind Splash and Fun; Tigné Point in Sliema; Xatt is-Sajjieda in Marsaxlokk and Triq il-Batterija in Żebbuġ, Gozo.

Dogs should remain on a leash at all times until they are in the water, since the beaches remain open to the public.
