Trails · The Spit
A 3.6 km coastal walking track through remnant coastal woodland behind the dunes at The Spit, connecting Philip Park to the Seaway. It is a flat, shaded sand trail popular with local dog walkers year-round.
Quiet bush-and-dune walking minutes from the off-leash dog beach at The Spit, making an easy on-leash plus off-leash outing.
Dogs are permitted on lead on the reserve track; only the signed beach section is off leash. Hours are not published - the reserve is open at all times as public parkland.
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.
