spitzbaby Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Hi all, After checking out the beach I think the place is great, it's huge and there is enough space for you to separate out from the big group. However, I have not been there on a weekend but I'm sure if there's anything we can go do something else as a group We are going to have a new year party!! Should we come in red? Where: Brighton Beach Parking: Lots along Bay St and Sandown St(?) When: 2 January 2011 Time: 11am Who would be available to come and join in the fun? Attendees: Spitzbaby xKALIx AnimalMad LucyCharzie Pointees SmoothieGirl(tbc) Edited December 7, 2010 by spitzbaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKALIx Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 MEEEE!!! I love the dog beach! Jump on google maps and have a look at the area (just type in Brighton dog beach, it knows where it is) and have a look. There's lots of parking down bay road but I usually park on the street that starts with S (can't remember the name) I vote we meet in the middle of the sand, as a group and go form there. Little dogs can stay around the middle and the big dogs can go nuts down the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snout Girl Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Altona dog beach is a lot bigger and nicer- just FYI Brighton tends to get very crowded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I suggest early in the morning. In the afternoon it is packed. Because it is one of only a few fully fenced parks bayside/SE Melbourne, there are some out-of-control dogs there when it is peak time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothieGirl Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Depending on the date I could be in too. I go to Altona a bit and its alright, but I think all beaches smell - I'm not a beach fan, but that doesn't mean Bronte can't have fun there.

spitzbaby Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Would everyone prefer saturdays or sundays? Since election is on the 27th.. maybe the next saturday...or the sunday 28th? I'm so indecisive... ETA: I think I'm going to go there sometime to scout the place and see what it's like on a weekday.. anyone free during the week next week?

keroppiyo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Ooo...weekday would be good for me. I'm not sure how to get there though... I'd prefer to check it out on a not so crowded day too. I can't on Tuesday and Thursday, but other than that, if you decide to go next week, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitzbaby Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 That's ok KALI... I'm going to scout on a weekday to see the place first... still not sure when we're having the weekend one.. but definitely coming That's awesome kerropiyo! I also don't know how to get there... and no gps.. I have to rely on my crappy phone googlemap haha.. Why don't we go next wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sankari Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I completely forgot about the date it was on and organised for a family to come to see their bunny they're getting in 5 weeks They're coming at 10am and I expect would be here an hour.. I could change them to another day, they were quite happy to come whenever, so maybe i'll just change them around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninefriend Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have taken Dexter to both Brighton and Altona - Brighton is good because it is fenced (piece of mind) and Dexter likes the huge amount of Dogs and the frantic pace. The Altona beach is good because you can walk a fair way and the doggies can play while you walk, but no fences so dogs need to have reasonable recall (it's a decent way off the road). Also that's where Dexter ate jelly fish and we had 6-8 weeks of stomache recovery They both smell - I think Brighton probably smells worse - lets face it it first they are beaches, then they are dog beaches None the less I will continue to use both of them and will hopfeully make it when we decide on when we are going.

We were going to have them on the 27th but it is state election so I thought it'd be better on the 28th... when is the family coming to see the bunnies? I'm sure we can shift ours around too since it's not really set yet. ETA: CF I do prefer fenced even though Kairu has some reliable recall.. I'm still not 100% on it I'm going to go check them out this Wednesday I think with kerropiyo, if she can come would you like to come along?

keroppiyo Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Wednesday is fine We probably won't stay there all day though, maybe around 2 hours? Hope I manage to find the place. From what I've read, drive down St Kilda Rd, then either park on Chatsworth or Glyndon Ave :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitzbaby Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Oh of course.. I'll stay around for about 2 hours too What time should we start? 11am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
