🐶  Dog Friendly Rules

🕐 Kingfisher stretch — Pathway opposite Lorikeet Avenue to the pathway between 76 and 78 Kingfisher Parade is off-leash 3pm to 8am and on-leash 8am to 3pm.
🦮 On-leash default — If the sand is not signed off-leash or dog-free, the dog stays on-leash.

🐕 Dogs — On-leash around the ramp, trailers and fishers unless a foreshore sign says otherwise.
