Frequently asked questions about dogs in Sanctuary Point

Is Sanctuary Point dog friendly?

Sanctuary Point is a small coastal community on the Shoalhaven, where the pace is slower and the dog-friendly options reflect a beach-and-bush lifestyle.

Where can I take my dog in Sanctuary Point?

Clifton Park Fenced Dog Park is the standout — a large, well-equipped fenced space with an agility course, shade, and a separate small dog area. The area sits near Jervis Bay, making it a good base for combining park visits with coastal walks. The Shoalhaven has one of the larger park networks in the South Coast region, and Sanctuary Point provides a quiet, well-maintained slice of it.

Are there off-leash areas in Sanctuary Point?

Yes — Sanctuary Point has off-leash dog areas at Clifton Park Fenced Dog Park. Off-leash rules and hours can change, so always check current council signage before letting your dog off-leash.

How does Dog Happiness decide if a venue is dog-friendly?

We check council regulations, venue websites and FAQ pages, and community reviews. Council and venue-operator sources carry the most weight. Where confirmed or clearly identified, we show the access status and any conditions that apply. Access information is based on the best evidence available and may not always reflect the latest changes.

Can venue dog policies change?

Yes. Venue policies can change at any time — especially at pubs, cafés, and other hospitality venues. A venue that was dog-friendly last month may have changed its policy. We update our information regularly, but we always recommend checking directly with the venue if you’re planning a special trip.
