Syracuse: Bau Bau Beach (in Marina di Priolo) with its three kilometers of shore with games and agility paths: we assure you that your pets won’t get bored! In Syracuse there’s also the Kukua Beach .

Messina: Lido Sabbie Nere e Acque Calde (Vulcano – Aeolian Islands), Bau Bau Beach (Brolo) and the Lido Vengo anch’io, Beach of Pluto, (Messina).

Catania:  Lido Azzurro, Playa Dog Beach.

Trapani: Bau Beach (Castellammare del Golfo).

Palermo: you and your faithful friend could go to the free beach of Balestrate (a few km away from Palermo) but in Palermo there’s also the Dog Paradise, a private facility that provides swimming pools and games.

If you want to bring your pets to the beach with you don’t forget the dog healt card and its leash. It’s advisable to bring a soft or stiff muzzle in case of need and of course, since the weather is extremely hot, carry  a lot of water: dogs need to cool off during hot summer days (and so do you!).

But first of all, never leave your dog alone: your holiday in Sicily will be unforgettable!
