Hi Jake-
My husband and I are here for a month as we consider moving here. This no dogs thing on La Ropa or Las Gatas or La Madera is a really big bummer! We can’t even sit in the sand and watch the sunset with our dog? She loves a great sunset! 
We can’t even walk from La Ropa into town for a meal using the shortcut at the far end of the beach without breaking the rules by walking on the sand.
I have been doing my homework, and it seems that Blue Flag beaches can have a designated “bathing season” or even certain hours per day when the flag is flown. So La Ropa can be Blue Flag certified but still allow dogs at certain times of day or just during certain seasons. I am guessing making this reasonable compromise a reality may take quite a long time, but at least other communities have made it happen- so it is possible, which is hopeful. Perhaps you already discovered this, but sharing just in case:

Hopefully we will see you out there one of these (very early) mornings with our dog!
