If you’re looking for the dog-allowed-area of the lagoon, the best to do is to find the North Curl Curl parking lot and head towards the beach… right before the oceanic shore you will step in the warm water of the lagoon :)

One of my favourites. Beautiful beach, awesome waves and clear water. It can't be more refreshing. On a part of the lagoon, dogs are allowed, which makes it even more convenient.

Gorgeous lagoon at North curl curl around 150m from the beach. It is dog friendly and easily accessible from the car park and dog park. Water is sometimes too dirty to swim.

The Curl Curl Lagoon and Wetlands can be spectacular with lots of birdlife. Like a lot of urban wetlands Curl Curl Lagoon can also be pretty ordinary... There is plenty of places to take your dogs as well as great parklands and playing fields and courts all along the Lagoon. This is a great spot when the lagoon has enough water.

This lagoon is a home to wild birds. Properly maintained view decking. Nice place to have a quiet time, read books (or e-books), and meet locals.
