What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lido di Fido is highly praised as a dedicated dog beach, offering clean sand, shallow waters perfect for play, and unique 'box' enclosures for secure off-leash fun. While some find it a bit pricey, the friendly staff and dog-centric amenities generally make it a worthwhile experience for owners and their pets.
"It’s a great beach if you are coming with your dog. There are some closed spots with a fence (they call them “box”) where you can be with your dog too instead of having it on a leash beside you, but those are normally reserved fast so if you are interested in one of those i suggest calling before going. there’s space among the umbrellas anyway so it’s not like the next dog is super close to yours"

"Nice dog beach. Clean sand and water. We got two regular sun chairs and one small dog one, plus umbrella. The staff is friendly, they brought us fresh water for our dog. There seem to be well behaved dogs and dog owners, did not spot any issues, apart from the expected occasional barking. Its a bit expensive though (31 euros per day)."

"Great place to enjoy the summer with your dog. I can book an umbrella online or just ask when you arrive. They give a bowl with water, umbrella, 2 lounges and 1 for a dog 🥹 my dog was happy!"
