Now this beach was an interesting find. Varied types of sand, some scrubland and rock pools to explore. If you love photographing your dogs, you'll like this place. Plenty of little landmarks and interesting scenery to use as a backdrop.


The dog beach starts from a wooden ramp at the southern end of Beaumaris Yacht Club carpark and goes all the way north to a walking ramp across from McGregor Av. So heaps of room to explore.


Be aware on the Bayside City Council webpage (linked below) it states; "Dogs are prohibited on all inter-tidal rock platforms within the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary at all times", which pretty much encompasses the entire dog beach and surrounding beach area, thus meaning you shouldn't let your dogs go out exploring the rock pools. There are a few rock areas along the beach which aren't out in the water and are good to play on.

Theres also the Ricketts Point Beachside Cafe just a little down from the Yacht club which may be worth popping into for brunch, through to afternoon tea. Reviews are mixed about the place, so you'll just have to make up your own mind about it and let us know here :P


Continuing along south there is a path through the scrub which leads to the Mentone Dog Beach , about a 2.7km walk. The walk is quite nice, with views overlooking the south side of the bay from various positions


Parking is at the Yacht club; tickets are required from 8am to 8pm. You could probably park in some of the side streets further up and use one of the other paths down the hill to the beach.
