It's Time To Hit The Beach With Your Greyhound

Greyhounds don’t need hours of exercise but the opportunity to go outside and explore the sights (and scents) can be just as enticing for them as it is for all of us. Whether you live in Sydney or within reach of the north or south coast of NSW, there are plenty of great beaches and waterways just ready and waiting to welcome you and your greyhound. Although most of Sydney’s ocean beaches are not dog friendly, if you’re a city dweller you can still get your dog wet, sandy and totally pooped. Try the harbour beach of Sirius Cove in Mosman, or further north, Flora and Richie Roberts Reserve, where your greyhound can enjoy the sights, smells and experience water play in general. If you are game, Curl Curl lagoon is a perfect place where you can walk them in a little deeper and they can have a little swim (more on swimming with your greyhound later). Head south of Sydney to explore the coastline from Bondi to Coogee (these are not 'off leash' beaches but we always recommend keeping your greyhound on a lead anyway) then on to Kurnell's off-leash Silver Beach where your greyhound can splash in the shoreline’s ripples. South is where you’ll also find Sydney’s only true dog-friendly ocean beach - Greenhills Beach north of Wanda Beach near Cronulla.
