Just a heads-up in case somebody gets fined without realising these regulations exist. From today's Informacion.
One hundred fines for dog owners on the beaches of Elche this Easter. The number that has resulted from a surveillance campaign by the Local Police over 7 day on the Elche coast where access to animals is prohibited.
The Urban and Environment Unit (UMA) increased its presence in Arenales del Sol, El Altet and La Marina where it filed 41 complaints against pet owners for not carrying the animal's documentation . The second incident that the agents detected the most was for walking the dog without restraint, a total of 39 complaints. This was followed by offences for walking the dog on the beach (a dozen) or lacking an identification chip (6).
In Elche there is no beach in the municipality that allows access to animals, except for dogs intended for rescue work or assistance to people in need or assistance dogs, as stated in the Ordinance on Safety in the Use, Enjoyment and Exploitation of the Elche coastline. According to this regulation, those who have taken their dogs this Easter to the Elche beaches could face fines of up to 300 euros. The presence of domestic animals on the beach, outside the bathing season, without the legally established requirements for their possession and circulation, unless another type of sanction is regulated by specific regulations, is considered a minor infraction.
