Dog-Friendly Walks & Beaches in Anglesea
Surf Coast Walk, Section 6 – Point Addis to Anglesea
This scenic stretch of the Surf Coast Walk treats you to gorgeous ocean views as you hike the coastal cliffs. Just remember, it’s an on-lead area – perfect for a relaxed walk with your dog by your side.
Point Roadknight Beach
This is a timeshare beach, meaning there are a few restrictions during peak times (December through February, 9 am to 7 pm), but outside those hours, it’s all paws free! It’s a favorite spot for dogs and families with gentle waves and plenty of sand to play on.
O’Donohue’s Beach
Accessible from the O’Donohue’s Road Carpark, this is the go-to off-leash beach all year long. Let your pup run wild while you soak up the views!
Seasonal Rules & What to Know
In the Surf Coast Shire, dogs need to stay on-leash in public places unless it’s a designated off-leash zone. During busy times like summer and Easter, some beaches limit dog access to early mornings and evenings. Just check the signs at the beach or download the Surf Coast Shire’s Pet-Friendly Guide to stay up-to-date on the rules.
