Congwong Beach is a dog-friendly beach in La Perouse. Just 400m away, Frenchmans Bay Reserve is a nearby option to stop in after your walk.

Dog rules

Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times in this park. Off-leash exercise is only permitted in Randwick City Council's 17 designated leash-free areas — this is not one of them. Dogs are not permitted in playgrounds, sports courts, food preparation areas, schools, or wildlife protection areas. Please pick up after your dog — failure to do so attracts a $275 fine.

It is always a great beach. Yesterday it wasn’t as crowded as I had expected. Maybe it was a weekday, or that we were a little later in the day. but parking was easy and the beach itself was not too crazy. It was mostly families and quiet people, which it often isn’t in the afternoon. The water was clear and crisp, and plenty of people swimming around. The kids extended a large hole that had been left by a prior visitor. The ice-cream truck in the carpark had the “best milkshake ms 15 had ever had from an ice-cream truck. It was strawberry if you are wondering.

Awesome Beach! Kids Friendly, very busy during Holidays. Plenty of things to do in the area, you can also go to the Bare island for a stroll. There are stairs going down the beach so if you have a beach cart make sure you have somebody to help you carry them going down. Overall we enjoyed our visit.
