A dog owner's guide to Vaucluse
Vaucluse is one of Sydney's most affluent eastern suburbs, set on the harbour with clifftop reserves, headland parks, and views that make even a routine dog walk feel dramatic.
What makes Vaucluse dog-friendly
Lighthouse Reserve sits on the headland with expansive harbour views and off-leash access at all times. Christison Park has ocean views from the clifftop. The suburb connects to walking tracks along the harbour foreshore, and the combination of views and off-leash access makes it one of the more scenic daily walking options in the eastern suburbs.
