Sydney has many beautiful beaches but dogs are not permitted on most of them. Dogs are strictly prohibited from setting foot on famous and popular beaches such as Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach. In fact, dogs are prohibited from all beaches in the Waverley and Randwick council areas.

If a fenced or unfenced dog park is more suited to your requirements, then check out these guides:

You can use our Find a Dog Park Search to find an off leash dog park (fenced, unfenced or beach) within a suburb or up to a 10km radius of a suburb or town. You can fine-tune your search by choosing features like fenced, beach, small-dog area, agility course, shade or toilets.

These are the best dog beaches in Sydney where dogs can run along the sand and have a paddle and swim off-leash. Note that some beaches have restricted hours when dogs are allowed on beaches.
