Cats, dogs and other animals here on Italy’s northwest coast now have new beach to frolic away from the summer heat. Genoa’s beach for animals opened Friday near in the suburb of Vesima, just past the Jauna municipal beaches. It is the first public beach in the region for pets.

There are other beaches for pets in Liguria but they are all private.

The Vesima beach is equipped with water fountains and hoses as well as a distributor of shovels and plastic bags for those needing to to clean up after their pets.

“The Vesima beach is dedicated to domestic animals. It is an experiment aimed at meeting the needs of the many people who every summer do not know where to bring their pets,” explained the municipal councillor for animals Maria Rosa Zerega.

“We have calculated that one out of four families in Genoa have at least dog or a cat. So Vesima beach plays a social function and is also an alternative to abandoning animals,” she added, referring to Italians who abandon their pets when going on holiday.
