Henley Beach

FreeLeashed, off-leash zone on site

A wide suburban surf beach 20 minutes from Adelaide's CBD, backed by the lively Henley Square dining precinct. Dogs can run off lead on the sand outside daylight-saving hours and on lead the rest of the time.

Why it made the list

The combination of an open dog-friendly beach and one of Adelaide's most dog-welcoming cafe strips makes it the city's classic coastal dog outing.

Good to know before you go

City of Charles Sturt rules: dogs on lead (2 m max) on the foreshore 10am-8pm during daylight saving (approx Oct-Apr) and may be off lead under effective control outside those times; the entire Henley Square is on-lead at all times. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.

Practical notes

  • Visit early morning in summer for legal off-lead runs
  • Keep clear of signed plover nesting areas near dunes

What is available on site

  • Off-leash area
  • Swim access
  • Water bowls
  • Step-free access
