Tilbury Cove Reserve is a waterside dog-friendly park in Culburra Beach where dogs are welcome on lead. The park also has BBQs, parking, and toilets nearby.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Tilbury Cove Reserve, a Shoalhaven City Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under effective control in public places throughout the Shoalhaven, except in Council's designated off-leash areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas.

A nice place to spend time, especially if you have dogs. Adequate amenities and a nice feel. I should note that if you intend to swim, culburra beach or worrain would be a much better idea given the amount of rocks and seaweed beneath the surface level at Tilbury beach. And, if you are after calm water I would definitely recommend callala beach.

Great beach and not crowded at all (at least when I went over the Christmas holidays). Did notice a fair bit of jellyfish and the odd blue bottle (Spanish Man O' War) that were washed up along with some seaweed on some of the beaches in Jervis Bay. However this might've been a bad day for that. Otherwise a great family day out
