Best beaches to take your dog in Sydney

Taking your dog to the beach is a stimulating and fun adventure. Saltwater, in particular, has therapeutic properties, and a little sunshine boosts the intake of vitamin D. Swimming also offers multiple health benefits to your dog, such as improving circulation, increasing metabolism, decreasing inflammation, and strengthening the heart and lungs.

Although dogs love beaches, not all beaches in Sydney are perfect for your pet. Let us be your guide with our list of the best beaches to take your dog to in Sydney:

• Rose Bay Beach — This beautiful dog beach in Sydney is right next door to Rose Bay cafes and shops, and boasts iconic Sydney Harbour views. There’s an off-leash zone between the Dumaresq reserve and Percival Park, where your dog can stretch their legs in the sand and paddle in the calm ocean water.
  
  
  
  
• Patonga Beach — The area between Jacaranda Avenue and Brisk Street is one of the most dog-friendly beaches on the Central Coast. It’s an off-the-leash area where your dog can run wild and free.
