Kurnell Dog Beach
Kurnell Dog Beach is the only permitted off-leash area in Kurnell, and it draws a loyal crowd. On a clear day you get views across to the city skyline, and the flight path overhead means planes pass low on approach — dogs and owners both seem to enjoy the spectacle. The water is accessible and calm enough for most dogs, and there are regular breed meetups including a Border Collie gathering on the first Sunday of each month. Parking is easy, and there are toilets and shaded areas nearby. Dogs must be on-leash when entering and leaving the beach area.

Excellent dog beach with views of the city on a clear day. Plenty of easy parking, and also seems to be a popular fishing spot.
Great day out take your dogs watch the Plains over head coming into land ant the airport or have a dip. Thers a park with plenty for the kids toilets and shops nearby. Tables and shaded are.
So fun! We take our furbabies to play with their dog friends here and they LOVE it! Both have become super confident with swimming as well. There's a border collie meet up the first Sunday of the month (8am in summer, 9am in winter).
Such a nice place to see the sunset and spend private time with my furry friend.
Love the place. Nice for a stroll wirh the kids and family and especially your fur-babies. Very relaxed atmosphere, people are also lovely and you can even stop for a Mr Whippy ice cream.
