2 Pacific Hwy, Blacksmiths, NSW

4.3(22 reviews)

Blacksmiths Dog Exercise Area is a versatile and expansive off-leash space located along the scenic waterfront in Australia. The area features a diverse mix of environments, including a large grassy parkland and a wide, sandy beach where dogs can run freely and swim in the ocean. Facilities are well-maintained, offering a large sheltered picnic pavilion with multiple tables, providing ample shade and a communal gathering spot for visitors. A dedicated stainless steel water station with an integrated dog bowl is available to keep pets hydrated during their visit. The park includes comfortable benches for seating and is conveniently located adjacent to a paved parking lot for easy access. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and picturesque, offering stunning views of both the open ocean and the calmer, reflective waters of the nearby channel. While the park provides vast open spaces for exercise and play, there is no visible evidence of perimeter fencing, indicating it is an open-access off-leash zone. The ground surface is varied, consisting of natural grass and dirt in the park sections, soft sand on the beach, and gravel on connecting pathways.

Beautiful beach, the sand feels like crashed butter biscuits, the water is crystal, and an off-leash area for dogs is a real bonus. The whole beach is a really long stretch, though, dogs are allowed only up to a certain point.
