What To Expect
Brighton Dog Beach - also known as Sandown Street Beach- is one of Melbourne’s most popular off-leash beaches, and for good reason. With shallow water and plenty of space to run, it’s a fantastic spot for confident swimmers and first-timers alike.
The beach is off-leash at all times, making it a reliable go-to if you’re planning a beach day with your pup. Expect a lively mix of dogs socialising, splashing about, and enjoying the open space. The calm, shallow waters are ideal for playful dips, and there’s a stunning city skyline view to top it all off.
Bins, dog waste bags, and water bowls are provided, though there’s no public toilet nearby, and parking can be tricky with most spots on surrounding streets requiring permits.
