Sandringham Beach, which is 2.5 km long, has two parts: a narrow, difficult to access southern half; and a very accessible and well-serviced northern half. The tw0 parts have different dog off leash restrictions.
Around Royal Avenue the beach is accessed by a lot of steps. North of this point is often called Sandringham beach and south of this point is often called Edwards Street beach. Irrespective of the name, the rules for dogs are the same along the whole length of the beach.
As you get to the south end of the beach there is a rocky outcrop in the water and at low tide it is possible to pass around Red Bluff and get to Half Moon Bay.
