Beach•Emerald Beach

Emerald Beach is a pretty coastal beach on the Coffs Coast with a split-zone arrangement for dogs. Dogs are allowed off-leash north of Fiddamans Creek, and are prohibited on the southern end, so it is worth checking the on-site signage for the zone boundaries. The northern sand gives room for a run and a swim. A relaxed beach with an off-leash northern zone.

Beach•Tuncurry

Nine Mile Beach at Tuncurry is an enormous stretch of sand where dogs can run off-leash from dawn to dusk. The scale is the draw — this is one of the longest dog-friendly beaches in NSW. The ocean is wild and unpatrolled, so it's best for dogs that enjoy a big run on the sand rather than swimming. Dogs must stay 50 metres clear of patrolled swimming areas.
