Parks · The Spit
A 30-hectare foreshore park at the end of Seaworld Drive with broad lawns, picnic shelters, beach showers with dog bowls and views across the Broadwater. It wraps around the off-leash dog beach and the Muriel Henchman boat ramp area.
Huge flat parkland plus its own off-leash swimming beach make it the Gold Coast's most complete dog day out.
Dogs must be leashed in the park except in the signed off-leash dog beach area between the kiosk and the pump-station jetty; hours are not published and the park is open public land.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
