Dog rules

Central Coast Council's "Guide to being PAWSOME!" booklet states: "Dogs and cats are prohibited to enter schools, shopping centres, beaches (except in designated areas), food preparation areas, playgrounds and wildlife protection areas, as outlined by the Companion Animals Act 1998." This beach is not on Central Coast Council's published list of designated off-leash dog areas, so dogs are prohibited under the council's general rule.

Great beach to walk on. It’s patrolled, two cafes doing good business, lots of car parking available. There is a ramp to access beach as well as stairs. Lots of surfers. It’s the busiest beach in the area. Great views from the top carpark. There are rock pools to enjoy as well.

Amazing beach. Awesome for kids, patrolled beach and a consistent surf break that works on a north easterly breeze. Best on the coast. But please don't visit ,🤣

I love this beach so nice and very windy. I really want to come back again. I was there in the evening and don’t have much time so it would be good to re visit again next year.
