Isabel964 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi Everyone I posted in December to find a dog beach south of St Kilda dog beach. You let me know of Brighton Dog beach which is fabulous. So sometimes I go there and sometimes I still got the St Kilda one. But traffic to get to both from Ferntree Gully is just a bit much. Both take 40 minutes and the drive on a hot day for the dogs through all that traffic is just a bit of a put off (though we still do it LOL). I called the Frankston Council today and they said dogs can go on all their beaches after 7.30pm during summer through to the end of March - but they have to be leashed. Being leashed is just not helpful when a dog wants to chase a ball, play around and romp with other and go swimming! The traffic going more south would be better, even if its still a way to go - and using the Eastern freeway makes it easier. If anyone knows of any dog offleash beaches south of Brighton beach, it would be fabulous to share that. No matter how far south I guess - it might be nice to know of an option. I only know of offleash dog beaches in port Melbourne, St Kila and brighton. Surely there are some further south. It would be really sad if there aren't I mean why don't more councils set aside an area for a dog beach? There is lots of beach and it would be much appreciated.

Nik Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think Ricketts Point is off leash ? Yup, offleash all year round! Nice shallow beach too. And the advantage of a cafe nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmolo Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Ricketts Point is one of my favourite places to go with the dogs. Great beach, extra large area and generally responsible dog owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I didn't know about that one! Might have to head down there sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is odd as I live there and we can take the dogs on the beach after 7.30pm and before 10am off lead on Carrum/Seaford beach. They are also testing a new stretch of beach thanks to residents votes for dogs to be allowed on after 5pm (on lead though) instead so they too can cool off on hot days and not have to wait utnil 7.30pm.

poodlefan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Rye Bay Beach is my favourite for holidays down that way. I'm not sure what the summer restrictions are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 There's an off leash beach at Mt Eliza, just around the corner from Toorak College. Dogs can be there before 9:00am and after 7:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
