A long, beautiful sandy beach about 20km south of Dunedin CBD with a generous off-leash stretch between Big Stone Road and McIntosh Road. Dogs can run the full length of the beach and splash in the surf — a popular escape for Dunedin dog owners who want open space and ocean air.

A stunning long beach south of Dunedin with a generous off-leash stretch. My two dogs sprint the full length and are completely worn out. The dune leash rules are clearly signed — just follow them and enjoy the spectacular beach.

Well worth the 20-minute drive from the city. Brighton Beach is magnificent and the off-leash area between the two road markers gives dogs plenty of room to run. A wonderful weekend outing.

Lovely beach with clear off-leash signage — easy to follow. Dogs love the surf and the wide open sand. Keep them leashed in the dune areas as required. A real Dunedin gem if you don't mind the drive.
