You won’t see any such thing at Italy’s “Baubeach,” one of the few places that welcomes both two-legged and four-legged guests, according to the [_Agence France-Presse_](http://www.afp.com/en/node/2747682 "undefined"). The dog-friendly beach is located on the outskirts of Rome and features a play circuit, parasols for shade and, of course, the sea–open to all pooches, whether they want to jump some waves or simply paddle in the shallow water. \[[_AFP_](http://www.afp.com/en/node/2747682 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3169445/italy-beach-dogs-yes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3169445/italy-beach-dogs-yes/"},"headline":"This Italian Beach Says 'Si, Per Favore' to Dogs","datePublished":"2014-08-25T02:12:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:42.528Z","description":"So your four-legged friend can enjoy the beach like you would","url":"https://time.com/3169445/italy-beach-dogs-yes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","cute","Italy","video","fun"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5192b92f755118ed/6986a0aef983e78b3904f5a2/453551212.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5192b92f755118ed/6986a0aef983e78b3904f5a2/453551212.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"A woman tries to hold her dog at Baubeach in Maccarese, near Rome on August 12, 2014.
