Dog Friendly Beaches in NSW

On leash only.

Great Lakes Council, together with Forster Tuncurry Lions Club and the Beach Street Volunteer Group, all worked together to build a Dog Agility Park at Beach Street Reserve, Tuncurry. Whilst dog agility is an actual sport, the park is for amateurs to provide mental simulation and activity for dogs. The park consists of weave posts for slalom manoeuvres, tunnels, ramps and jumps where dogs can test each discipline and eventually race against owner and the clock.

From 200m north of break wall to airport wind sock.

Dogs are permitted unleashed between 7pm and 8am. At all other times dogs must be constrained by a leash. Dogs are prohibited at all times from areas designated by signage at 200 metre intervals and/or 100 metres either side of surf patrols at Blackhead Beach.

Off leash after hours only.
