Our Fortnightly Release

At Monptit, our dogs are at the heart of everything we do—and when the sun's shining in Queensland, there's no better way to bond than at the beach! While Brisbane itself isn’t known for having classic surf beaches, there are still plenty of sandy, splash-friendly spots nearby where your pup can roam, play, and swim freely.

In this post, we’ve put together a list of five dog-friendly beaches within easy driving distance of Brisbane, along with helpful tips to ensure a smooth and safe outing for your furry best friend. Whether your dog loves to dig, paddle or just sniff the sea breeze, we’ve got you covered! 🐶🌞

Top 5 Dog-Friendly Beaches Near Brisbane

1. Nudgee Beach Off-Leash Area

One of Brisbane’s most well-known dog beaches, Nudgee Beach offers tidal flats and wide open space for running and splashing. It’s best enjoyed during low tide. There are also rinse stations and walking trails nearby.

2. Raby Bay Foreshore Park, Cleveland

Located in the Redlands Coast area, this beach features calm waters, grassy spaces, and a dedicated off-leash dog area. It’s great for a relaxed swim and picnic.

3. Shorncliffe Beach

With scenic walking paths and a dog-friendly stretch near the pier, Shorncliffe offers a mix of leash and off-leash zones along the waterfront. Sunrise strolls here are extra special!

4. Manly Foreshore (near Lota)

The Manly–Lota foreshore has designated off-leash areas and is perfect for dogs who love calmer waters. There’s plenty of shady space for resting, too.

5. Sandgate Dog Beach

Next to Shorncliffe, this low-tide beach is a great spot for running and digging. It’s off-leash during certain hours, and there’s a dog-friendly café nearby for a post-play treat.

Tips for a Dog Beach Day in Brisbane

• Check tide times—many Brisbane beaches are best at low tide.
• Bring a travel bowl and fresh water for hydration.
• Keep things tidy with a pooper scooper or waste bags.
• After beach play, groom your dog with a slicker brush to remove tangles.
• Use a paw cleaner before heading home to keep your car clean.
