Salou will have a nudist beach and beaches for people with disabilities and for pets

Salou. Costa Dorada. 15 September 2023. The Salou City Council continues to move forward to facilitate universal access and inclusion on the municipality's beaches, and that is why it has announced that in the 2024 season Salou will have a nudist beach, that there will be a bathing area for pets on Ponent beach, and an area enabled for bathing for people with disabilities on the Levante beach.

The naturist beach will be created on Enlliscalls beach, a space measuring 1,603 square meters and 130 meters long, with capacity for 190 users. The City Council's objective is to promote tolerance and mutual respect between bathers who practice nudism and those who do not.

On the other hand, with the name “The sea of equals”, the Salou City Council is launching a pilot test on the Levante beach, in the area that is near the Autonomous Communities square, where a space is set up of 40 square meters designed for people with reduced physical or visual mobility, ASD or other disabilities.

In this space, pictograms and symbols are present to facilitate their use and understanding by users. There will also be a shaded space and a delimited area within the water. Users will be able to access with amphibious chairs and will have the collaboration of monitors and assistance service. This service will only be available when the green flag flies, guaranteeing optimal safety conditions for its use.

Finally, a bathing area for pets will be launched next summer on Ponent beach. To do this, a space of 1,217.21 square meters will be delimited where pets will be able to enjoy the water (always) accompanied by their owners. Pets must be leashed and their owners must take the necessary precautions to avoid inconvenience to other users and bathers.

All of these new features have been announced coinciding with World Beach Day, which is celebrated on the third Saturday of September. The mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, has said that the beaches are a "valuable heritage that, together, we must preserve", and make them "spaces of enjoyment, meeting, welcome, proximity and coexistence" so that, In short, “beaches are for everyone.”
