Dog rules

Shoalhaven City Council's Dog Off-Leash Guide states: "Dogs in the Shoalhaven are required to be 'on leash'" unless in a designated off-leash area or dog-prohibited area. This venue is not named in Shoalhaven's off-leash list or prohibited list under D23/519887 (MIN23.740, December 2023), so the council-wide default on-leash rule applies. Dogs must be under the effective control of a competent person at all times under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998. (Source: Shoalhaven City Council, MIN23.740 / D23/519887.)

Dispite the inappropriate name, the hidden quiet beach, is off the main road. I would advise to drive through on a 4x4 as the bumpy dirt tracks are very rocky and consist if dips and holes. It will be worth a drive, as you'll reach a parking area, and you'll need to walk for 3mins to reach the beach. White sand and clear water

I really feel like a private beach here and it’s very beautiful. Though you need to walk place is worth it
