    A day at Monty’s

    From the first ball thrown at opening to the last song after sunset, here’s how a day on the sand usually goes.

    A spaniel puppy sits on smooth sand with the sea and a pale sky behind.

    Morning

    The dog beach

    Off-leash on the sand from the moment we open. Entry is free, there are water bowls at every station, and the agility course is there for the show-offs.

    Our beach team keeps an eye on the water’s edge, the bags and the play, so you can actually sit down.

    Afternoon

    The beach bar

    Cold drinks and a kitchen menu for you, a dog menu for them, and loungers, beach chairs and cabanas you can rent by the hour.

    Order from the bar or from your chair. Sandy paws are welcome everywhere.

    Book a sunbed, cabana or table

    Sunset

    Events

    Salsa on Sundays, painting and pottery nights with a glass of wine, and live acoustic sets as the sun goes down. Most of it is free.
