Narrawallee Beach is a large, lively surf beach at Narrawallee with happy off-leash dogs along the sand. Dogs are allowed off-leash in the designated northern section only; the southern part from the main Matron Porter Drive access, and the Victor Avenue and Surfers Avenue steps, are dog-prohibited. The surf can be heavy, so take care. A relaxed beach with a northern off-leash zone.

Dog rules

Narrawallee Beach has a designated dog off-leash area in the middle section (between the unnamed island off Parkinson Street and the Matron Porter Drive beach access track). From 13 July 2026, dogs may be off-leash there 24 hours a day in the low season (1 May–30 September); in the high season (1 October–30 April) off-leash hours are 4pm–8am. On-leash beach access is via the Victor Avenue stairs. Dog access via the Surfers Avenue stairs remains prohibited to protect sensitive shorebird habitat. Follow signs on site.

Big Beach. Heavy surf. Lots of happy dogs and owners enjoying the leash free area. Walk along foreshore and surrounding tracks just flowing with water and mud after recent rain. Waves are right up to the dunes at high tide.

What a spot! Possibly our favourite beach around Ulladulla. Great for the kids and also has the creek close by, toilets and a park.

Beautiful beach and creek area. Great for a walk, play and explore for both kids and adults.

We entered the beach from the Inlet end, through the foreshore Walk. A beautiful beach with fine sand and clear blue waters, surrounded by healthy green plant life. A beautifully peaceful place to unwind in the sun. Or try taking a walk from one secluded end to the other end that is more closer to civilisation. Breath taking views

Such a beautiful, pristine spot. Very quiet, also at river entrance, lovely walking track. Stunning scenery.
