5 Recommended Dog-Friendly Beaches in NSW
Going on a holiday with your furry companion can be tough, especially when trying to find local areas that are dog friendly. We get it, no one wants to leave their best bud behind! We understand this struggle and have tried to make your trip easier by recommending our top 5 dog-friendly beaches in New South Wales (NSW) where your dog can splash and dash until their hearts content.
1. Rose Bay Beach
Top of the list is the Eastern Suburbs hidden gem, Rose Bay Dog Beach. This 24/7 off-leash local favourite is where your pooch can chase seagulls and get gloriously sandy all day long. There is a café located just around the corner called Jezve Coffee which is a fantastic spot to grab a coffee or quick feed while enjoying the stunning Sydney Harbour views. Parking can be a little tricky though so you may have to spend time searching, but the beach is definitely worth it.

2. Bayview Dog Park
In Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Bayview Dog Park is a pup’s dream come true. Located on Pittwater Road in Rowland Reserve, this beach has a picnic area hidden in the bush overlooking Pittwater. Hot tip: keep an eye out for the weekend dog washer, perfect for a quick scrub before heading home for the day. Noone likes bringing the beach home with them!

3. Nobby’s Beach
Next on the list is the renowned Nobby’s Beach in Port Macquarie, a 400m stretch of sand perfect for dogs with endless energy. Sheltered by the headland, it is also great for swimming, though keep in mind, there are no lifeguards on duty, so you will be swimming at your own risk.

4. Greenhills
Located north of Wanda Beach in the Sutherland Shire sits Greenhills. This rare dog beach is one of the only ones in Sydney which is Ocean facing (instead of harbour) providing plenty of waves and fun for the doggos. There are restricted hours with which dogs are allowed off the leash so make sure you check these out on the council website before heading there. Your dog will thank you with extra tail wags and happy barks!
