Rinella Bay

Dog-friendly beach in Kalkara, Malta

A designated dog-friendly rocky section of Rinella Bay in Kalkara, looking across to Valletta.

Access and rules

One of the 16 officially designated dog-friendly beaches. Only the rocky section is dog-friendly — the sandy part is not. Dogs may walk and swim on rocky beaches all year except Blue Flag beaches, which ban dogs during the summer months, and dogs may not enter the sea where the shore is an official bathing area. Access is easy by car or on foot. Check the official list and on-site signs before visiting.
