Dog rules

Shoalhaven City Council's Dog Off-Leash Guide states: "Dogs in the Shoalhaven are required to be 'on leash'" unless in a designated off-leash area or dog-prohibited area. This venue is not named in Shoalhaven's off-leash list or prohibited list under D23/519887 (MIN23.740, December 2023), so the council-wide default on-leash rule applies. Dogs must be under the effective control of a competent person at all times under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998. (Source: Shoalhaven City Council, MIN23.740 / D23/519887.)

Crookhaven Beach is patrolled int the summer holidays. You will need to check that re Covid rules. The beach between Tilbury Cove And Crookhaven is off lead for dogs at certain times in summer. 4pm to 8am. You may need to check that also. There is a caravan park adjacent to the beach at Crookhaven. Be aware there are those that disobey the off lead rules for dogs and ignore their dogs behaviour and doings. You need to be able to control your dogs. Unfortunately too many holiday makers don't obey the rules and locals know who is a tourist and you is a tourist. Also dont litter our beaches. Don't drive like you do in Sydney. Relax for your sake and ours.

An unexpectedly lovely place to watch the sunset. Pelicans, fishermen, little boats and some moments peace and quiet.
