PET FRIENDLY BEACHES
If you and your furry friend love the sand and surf, Dunsborough and its surrounding areas offer some fantastic beaches where dogs are welcome to roam, play, and splash. Just be sure to check local signs and guidelines to keep the beaches safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Dunsborough Foreshore - Dogs are welcome along the beach between the fisherman’s boat ramp (near McDermott St) and the beach access path opposite Lot 30 Geographe Bay Road.
Old Dunsborough - Dogs are welcome between Gifford Road access path and Burt Court Beach access path, and Vincent Street and Bay View Crescent.
Bunker Bay - Your favourite pooch can go for a long run and swim on the beach north of the café access path.
