Dalmeny Beach

Dogs welcome — rules apply•Dog rules

Dalmeny Beach is a dog-friendly beach. Dalmeny Reserve is also around 500 metres away — handy for drying off and burning off more energy after a swim. Some conditions apply, so it's worth checking before you visit.

Dog rules

Dogs are not permitted on the northern section of the beach, which lies within Eurobodalla National Park. On the southern section at Mort Avenue, which is outside the national park, dogs are permitted under the general NSW rule that they must be under effective control on a lead, as Council has not declared this section an off-leash or prohibited area.

Beautiful coastal town beach ideal for quiet relaxing times. Swim in the surf, ride the waves or paddle the tidal lagoon. Perfect for families with small children. Beach is accessible by a bridge from Mort Rd. Lifeguards are on duty summer season.

Classic huge white sand beach with no one there. Rocks to snorkel around as well..No life guards though. Great headland for a picturesque picnic 🧺
