Beachmere Off Leash Dog Beach has quickly become one of my favourite spots to take the dogs. It’s a well-thought-out space for dog owners, and there’s something special about it. The best time to visit is when the tide’s going out, as the beach opens up, revealing shallow tidal pools that are perfect for curious pups to splash around in. There’s plenty of room for dogs to run off-leash and meet other furry friends, making it a great place to chat with fellow dog lovers.
What I really appreciate is how easy it is to get to the beach. The car park is right next to a fully-fenced dog area, making it easy for the dogs to get from the car to the sand. The council has done a fantastic job providing amenities, like bins, drinking fountains (with a dog-friendly bowl), and even a hose with a timer to wash off the sand before heading home.
A word of caution: it can be slippery near the rocks at the water’s edge, so take care there. Also, since it’s an off-leash zone, be mindful of your kids around dogs that may not be used to sudden movements.
Overall, it’s a beautiful setting, well-equipped, and the dogs had a blast. I’m already planning our next visit!
