Barwon Heads dog friendly beaches
Dogs on beaches at Barwon Heads:
- Dogs are permitted off-lead at all times on the beach between markers 30W and 34W
- Dogs are prohibited at all times from the beach west of marker 40W and between markers 27W and 30W
- Dogs are permitted off-lead and on-lead at various times of the year on other beaches - see the map below
Important note
"Off leash under effective control" means your dog is close to you at all times, is trained to come back to you when called, does not run up to other people or dogs and you must prevent your dog from approaching wildlife. Occasionally there may be small temporary dog exclusion zones on some beaches due to highly threatened bird species breeding there.
