There would be very little wrong with dogs going on the beaches in Denia or anywhere else if only owners were responsible people and picked up any excrement dropped by their pets.Sadly owners are rarely responsible and just allow their pooches to defecate anywhere.Despite warning signs telling people that it is illegal to walk your dog on the beaches ,it is still done.The local police in Denia are always receiving complaints about it.
It appears that out of 121 complaints and beach incidents,53 of them concerned dogs on the beach and often in the water.Many of the complaints involved Les deveses and Les Marines beaches.Other breaches of the by-law involved illegal fishing,the illegal parking of caravans and problems caused by windsurfers.
There have also been serious problems this summer with “botellon”parties on the beaches and a number of fines have been handed out.The security councillor for Denia was full of praise for the local police and their dedication to their work.
