A small, sheltered sandy beach on Hobart's Sandy Bay foreshore, officially listed as an off-lead exercise area along with the adjoining Errol Flynn Reserve. Calm water and poop-bag dispensers make it a locals' dog favourite.

Short Beach and Errol Flynn Reserve are listed off-lead areas by the City of Hobart at all times; other Sandy Bay beaches nearby (Red Chapel, parts of Blinking Billy, Long Beach) are prohibited or restricted - follow the signs. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.
