Lisbon Dog Beach Guide

Portugal has strict beach rules but some options exist: **Summer (June-September):** Dogs banned from most beaches. Official dog beaches: Praia do Meco section, Praia do Guincho section. **Winter (October-May):** Dogs allowed on most beaches. Still check local signs. Great for quiet beach walks. **River Beaches:** Some spots along the Tagus have unofficial dog areas. Less controlled than ocean beaches. **Tips:** Always bring water and shade. Sand gets very hot in summer. Pick up after your dog!
