A dog owner's guide to Mosman
Mosman is a harbourside suburb on the lower north shore with some of the best dog-friendly beaches and off-leash parks in Sydney. The harbour setting means calm, sheltered water at most beaches — a world away from the surf beaches further east or south.
What makes Mosman dog-friendly
Sirius Cove Beach is widely regarded as one of Sydney's best dog-friendly beaches, with calm harbour water and a large grassy reserve for settling in after a swim. Sirius Cove Reserve holds the highest rating of any venue on the platform. Reid Park and other harbour-facing reserves provide off-leash access with views, and the suburb connects to walking tracks through to Taronga Zoo Wharf and Bradleys Head.
