Hi everyone,
New dog owner in ACT and am very confused by dogs on beach rules.
I've been scouring the internet and forums for hours finding what i thought would be readily available information, but to no avail.
Help needed urgently for road trip tomorrow.
I'm taking the family down to a beach and we have a 3.5kg poodle-bichon mix puppy with us.
I would like to spend the day at the beach, swimming, lazying around in a beach tent and let kids play, in a beach near batemans bay area (20-30 mins north/south of batemans bay is fine). We don't want to go to off leash area since our puppy is small and i have small children that wants to play at the beach.
I just want to go sit at a beach with my dog (on a leash), and i cant seem to figure out which beach i can do that. The information are all too scattered, where each webstie says something different, and i'm not sure if they are up-to-date. Is there a gov website I can go to to check each beach individually, or even better, a map of beach where dogs can go ON leash?
off-leash information seems to be more readily available, but i don't intend to go to off leash dog beaches. Just specifically dogs on leash ones.
Please help needed, trip intended tomorrow, but no idea where i can go.
regards,
Cotton
