The Dog Exercise Area at Brunswick Heads Main Beach is a designated off-leash zone in the intertidal area, stretching 400 metres south from the surf club. Dogs of all sizes use the space, and the breakwall provides some shelter. Dogs must stay in the intertidal zone — off the dunes and rehabilitation areas. Toilets and parking are nearby.

Love this long beach great for doggies exercise. Nice and clean water and fine sand. We take a regular trip at least one a month from the Gold Coast.

Not very special. Just an open beach with very expensive parking. Won’t go again.

A great beach for exercising dogs in a very busy dog area and do a big walk for the humans as well.
