Do you know where your closest dog-friendly beach is in South Australia? If not, here are some of the best SA beaches to take your Cavoodle.
Off-lead rules and daylight saving restrictions vary from beach to beach, so check the local signage when you arrive.
Maslin Beach
Maslin is one of the most beautiful beaches in South Australia. This gorgeous stretch runs about three kilometres, so there is plenty of room for dogs and people to enjoy the sand. It is known for its cliffside scenery, but most people come for the soft sand and clear water. There is a clothing-optional section, which is not one you would bring your Cavoodle to, but the rest of the beach is perfect for a cool-off on a hot summer day.
O'Sullivan Beach
South of Adelaide, O'Sullivan Beach is a lovely spot to visit with your Cavoodle. The blue water is inviting and it rarely gets too crowded, so there is loads of room to run, walk and play the day away. It is an off-lead beach, so your Cavoodle can have a proper run around. Be respectful, clean up after yourself, and have fun.
Grange Beach
Grange is a pretty beach in a popular spot, great for a long, scenic walk along the shore with the water in view. It can get a little busy in the warmer months, but it is still a lovely place to relax. Keep your Cavoodle on the lead during the daylight saving period, as is standard for beaches in the area.
Long Beach
If you want somewhere with room to roam, Long Beach near Adelaide lives up to its name with a big stretch of shoreline. It is a great choice if you like sand, water and a spot of fishing, with salmon, mullet and snapper among the catches. Bring the Cavoodle, or bring the whole family.
Tennyson Beach
Tennyson is perfect for a relaxed stroll with your Cavoodle, known for its lovely scenery and refreshing water. The Tennyson Dunes are an important and well protected part of the local ecosystem, so keep your Cavoodle on the lead and you will have a great time walking the shore.
