Dog-Friendly Beaches Near Brisbane
Surfs up for all paws
Surrounded by ocean, the beach is where we spend a great deal of our summer holiday’s, frolicking in the water and living our best lives. So, why should your furry friends miss out on all the fun? Bring them along to these dog-friendly beaches for the ultimate day out for all.
The Spit | Southport, Gold Coast
Located just North of SeaWorld overlooking spectacular views of Coolangatta, The Spit beach is the ideal dog-friendly area where your pup can run free. With dog bowls placed around the beach, your dog can socialise with other pups on the long stretch of sand and keep hydrated, too. If your pup is feeling a little more adventurous, the Northside of the ocean is protected by a seaway wall so your dog (or yourself!) can go swimming while being protected by northerly currents.

Tallebudgera Off-Leash Dog Beach | Palm Beach, Gold Coast
An off-leash dog beach equals dog paradise! The tip of the Northern part of Palm Beach is where you can take your dogs off their lead and let them be free! (Just make sure they don’t pass the first set of flags – you don’t want your pup getting in trouble!) If you start to feel a little thirsty or peckish, stroll over to James Street, Burleigh Heads for a fruity drink or smoothie.

Buddina Dog Beach | Buddina, Sunshine Coast
If you’re wanting to take your fur-baby up north for a quieter beach day, then Buddina is the perfect place for you! Off-leash from Mawarra Street to Talinga Street (on the beach of course) your beloved dog can soak up the Sunshine Coast’s salty air. Once the sun is beginning to set you can make your way up the stairs with the dog leash on to catch the scenic views from the lighthouse!
