The council has suspended the area suitable for pets on the Platera beach in L’Estartit.
There are 2 reasons:
Firstly, the problems of coexistence with other beach users, this was demonstrated by the high increase in complaints referring to the incivility of many dog owners who were not using leads with their dogs or letting them go out of the designated area, or not collecting the dog faeces.
Secondly, the report of the Natural Park which warned about the incompatibility of dogs running free, with the preservation of the dune and its vegetation, the nesting sites of some birds, and the area being classified as a Partial Nature Reserve.
