Paws in the Sand: The 3 Best Dog Beaches on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is famous for its beautiful beaches, and luckily for dog owners, there are several dog-friendly options to choose from. Here are the top three dog-friendly beaches on the Gold Coast:

1 The Spit

Located at the northern end of the Gold Coast, The Spit is a popular spot for dog owners. With a long stretch of beach and plenty of sand to run on, this is the perfect place to bring your furry friend. For the off-leash areas you can choose from the surf beach, or if your pup prefers calmer water, one side of the more tame Broadwater is also dog friendly.

2 Palm Beach Parklands

Palm Beach is a family-friendly beach with a lot to offer for dog lovers. Head past the Pirate Park playground and behind Dune Cafe to the off-leash dog exercise area for a quick dip, or continue on the surf beach for loads of space for fun!

3 Tallebudgera dog beach

If you're looking for a long stretch of beach, Tallebudgera dog beach is the perfect choice on the south end of the Gold Coast. The stretch of beach offers a peaceful escape for your pup to enjoy the sun, sand and surf, with gorgeous views of Burleigh Head National Park.

No matter which beach you choose, it's important to remember to follow the Gold Coast City Council guidelines for off-leash areas. With these three options, you and your furry friend are sure to have a great time on the Gold Coast’s beautiful beaches!
