Travelling with your dog means sharing much more than just a trip: it’s about experiencing every moment together.
In Argelès-sur-Mer, between the Mediterranean, wide natural spaces and a Catalan atmosphere, the destination naturally lends itself to dog-friendly holidays. Seaside walks, shaded paths, nature breaks… here, life slows down and enjoyment comes first.
The coastline of Argelès-sur-Mer is best discovered on foot, following the beaches and coastal paths.
Some areas are accessible for walks with dogs, offering long strolls facing the Mediterranean, between sand, pebbles and sea spray. The coastal path provides a wilder experience, running alongside the shore with open sea views, hidden coves and unspoilt nature. An ideal setting to share a simple moment together, feet in the water and leash in hand.
Just a short walk from the seafront, Argelès-sur-Mer reveals a different side—greener and more peaceful.
Pine forests, country paths and protected natural areas invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
The Mas Larrieu area, the surroundings of Valmy Park and the first trails of the Albères offer great opportunities for walks with your dog. These spaces allow you to enjoy the cool shade, observe local wildlife and flora, and reconnect with nature—while respecting the rules and the environment.
Tips for a relaxed stay
