Huskisson Beach is a beautiful Jervis Bay beach with a designated off-leash stretch on seasonal hours. From October to April dogs are off-leash from 4pm to 8am, and from May to September from 3pm to 10am, with on-leash access in between. There is a rock pool that suits calmer paddling, plus toilets, drinking water and free parking. A lovely, peaceful dog beach for a run around the off-leash window.

Dog rules

Off-leash is permitted on Huskisson Beach (between Nowra Street and Tapalla Avenue) during restricted times: from 1 October to 30 April, off-leash 4pm to 8am; from 1 May to 30 September, off-leash 3pm to 10am. Dogs must be on-leash at all other times. Dogs are prohibited on the Currambene Creek foreshore between the creek and Nowra Street (including Shark Net Beach).

Great beach to bring dogs. Off leash times are specific though. There's rock area with rock pool for dogs too that's not too wavy. Lots of free street parking, public toilets near by. Nice walk / bike ride path options to do also. Only thing is it can get very windy though so check the weather and wind forecast.
