Bombo Beach

Dogs welcome — rules apply•Dog rules
Dog rating

Updated 26 May 2026

Bombo Beach is a larger, open stretch of coastline with wide views out to the surrounding headland. It offers plenty of space for dogs to move, but conditions can be rough at times, with stronger waves than more sheltered beaches.

It works best for dogs that are comfortable in open environments and don't rely on calm water.

Dog rules

Dogs allowed off-leash in the centre section of Bombo Beach between sunrise and sunset. Dogs must be on leash when entering and leaving the off-leash area. Dogs prohibited outside the designated centre section.

Took my dog here for a swim. The surf was quite rough, so we couldn’t go in too deep. Beautiful views of the cliffs. It was a hot day with no shade, so we didn’t stay long.

Quite a nice beach. It is very quiet and parking is free here. You can go for a nice walk from the car park. As usual flies are an issue here.
