Bay West is a beach in Mortlake with on-leash walking areas. Dog access isn't confirmed, but it may be worth checking.

Dog rules

City of Canada Bay's "Local off-leash areas" page states: "Failure to control your dog by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash (unless in a Council declared off-leash area) is an offence under the Companion Animals Act 1998." This venue is not in the council's declared off-leash areas, so dogs must be on-leash. (Source: City of Canada Bay — Local off-leash areas, canadabay.nsw.gov.au.)

Amazing place to be on a breezy evening. The place is kid-friendly - it has a nice, big play area for kids at the entrance and a little zip-line for adults down further in the area. There’s also space and amenities for picnics or little family and friends gatherings. There’s a great view of the Sydney City Skyline and a little boardwalk that takes you around the place. Overall, a great place and a must-visit if you live close-by.
