The restrictions prohibit dogs on many Bayside beaches and foreshore areas during peak daylight hours from 1 November – 31 March.
Restrictions vary from beach to beach. You can check the restrictions at your favourite beach in our interactive , or location signage. All areas adjacent to beaches, including footpaths and reserves, are on leash at all times.
The seasonal changes aim to balance the needs of beach goers and dog owners over the busy warmer months.
Dogs and their owners can continue to enjoy all year round off-leash beach fun at Sandown Street, Brighton; Sandringham Harbour (Hampton); and Ricketts Point between McGregor Avenue and southern end of the Beaumaris Yacht Club car park.
Dog owners must pick up after their dogs and have effective control of them at all times.
