The beach is located exactly at the river mouth, known locally as the Punta del Riu, where the Seco River meets the Mediterranean Sea.
The ground composition is primarily composed of round stones and pebbles rather than fine sand, which prevents sand accumulation in dog fur.
The site is part of the broader efforts by the El Campello municipality to integrate pet-friendly tourism infrastructure along the Costa Blanca.
Because it is an open coastal area, there are no physical fences, relying instead on the natural river geography to delineate the dog-permitted zone.
Platja de gossos del Campello Punta del Riu is a dedicated dog-friendly beach situated at the mouth of the Seco River in El Campello, Alicante. The beach is characterized by its pebbly shoreline and rocky seabed, which helps maintain clear water visibility. It is an officially designated canine area where dogs are permitted to be off-leash throughout the year. The site provides natural boundaries, as the river outlet acts as a buffer between this section and neighboring, non-pet-friendly zones. Visitors have access to basic waste disposal facilities specifically designed for pet owners. The beach remains open to the public daily without seasonal restrictions on pet access.

Bring dog-appropriate footwear or a protective mat, as the pebbly surface can be uncomfortable for sensitive canine paws.
Carry your own portable water bowl, as public drinking fountains specifically for pets are limited on the shoreline itself.
Plan to visit during low tide to maximize the available walking space along the water's edge.
Do not wander into the adjacent non-dog beaches, as local bylaws strictly enforce pet bans on neighboring segments of the coastline.
Owners must pick up all waste immediately; dogs must remain under control to avoid conflict with other pets; aggressive dogs should be muzzled.
