Sandy Bay: Clontarf’s 24 Hour Puppy Beach

Head over to Clontarf’s Sandy Bay this weekend and enjoy a nice dip in the water with your pooch!

Sandy Bay at Clontarf Reserve is one of the Lower North Shore’s dog friendly beaches. It is located north of Clontarf on Sandy Bay Road providing access to Middle Harbour. Sandy Bay also faces southeast towards The Spit that is only 500 meteres away.

Sandy Bay is a 120 metre wide sheltered bay with shallow clean water that is ideal of pups (and people) who are not yet confident in deep waters with waves. Good swimmers may also opt to swim further in the calm waters of Sandy Bay for their enjoyment.

The shore space is a bit small at high tide, but any time other than the peak high tide hour will still give you enough space for you and your pooch to run, swim, and play. Low tide is still the best time for you to do some fun sand activities with your pet whether it is ball chasing or sand rolling.

There are a few official parking spaces available for free, but on a busy day people may also park on the road edge. The nearest public toilet is 500 metres away from the beach at Clontarf Reserve.

If you are planning on visiting Sandy Bay, keep in mind that this dog friendly beach is a busy spot especially during weekends. Heaps of dog walkers come in this area during the week, and there are plenty of pooches of all sizes on a nice weekend day.

For food and drinks, you may either have a BYO picnic and have it under one of the shaded areas in the reserve, or you may also walk over to some of the kiosks found at Clontarf Reserve afterwards.
