Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Baba Beach. Here you will find all the useful information to help you plan your day of relaxation, sea, comfort, and great food.

Can dogs go in the water?

Yes, without any time restrictions! The Dog Friendly area at Baba Beach is a small paradise dedicated to our four-legged friends, both on the beach and in the water.

Are there fenced areas?

In the Dog area there are no fenced-off spots. For particularly lively dogs, we recommend the Private Terrace, a dedicated area with a private entrance and natural separation through plant barriers, designed to ensure greater peace and comfort.

Can dogs be off-leash?

At Baba Beach, out of respect for everyone, each dog must be kept on a leash with its owner while under the umbrella. At the shoreline, dogs may play and be off-leash under the supervision and responsibility of the owner, who must always ensure that their dog does not cause harm or excessive disturbance to others. The management reserves the right to change the assigned spot if necessary to ensure the peace and safety of the entire beach.

What are the opening hours?

The beach facility is open from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, except for special evening openings. Access outside the indicated hours is not allowed. Early departure does not entitle guests to refunds or compensation.
