Wellington's most popular off-leash beach, stretching from the airport end of Lyall Bay to just before Maranui Cafe. Dogs can run free, swim, and socialise year-round — a dog water bowl fountain is provided and the beach is typically buzzing with dogs of all sizes.

This beach is what dog ownership is all about. Your dog can run free for a kilometre, swim, and meet a hundred other dogs. The water bowl fountain is a great practical touch.

One of the best urban dog beaches in New Zealand. Wide open space, surf to swim in, and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. Can get windy but that's part of the Wellington charm.
