Port Melbourne Beach Dog Off Leash Area (Port Melbourne)
The beach is backed by Beaconsfield Parade, as well as a low seawall and promenade.
There is some limited 2P free parking in the surrounding streets plus ticketed parking.
Access for Dogs:
Between Port Melbourne Yacht Club and Lagoon Pier, dogs are allowed off-leash at all times. This 240m long section of beach between the Port Melbourne Yacht Club and Lagoon Pier, which is the dog off leash area, is the least attractive part of the whole beach. This section of the beach has a big concrete drain outfall.
Port Phillip council designates this off-leash area as Beach C with the following boundaries: The area of land south west of Beach Street between an imaginary line (extending in a north easterly direction from the low water mark at Lagoon Pier to Beach Street) and another imaginary line (extending in a south westerly direction from the north west boundary of Bay Street to the low water mark) adjacent to Port Melbourne Yacht Club.
For the remainder of the beach:
1 April - 31 October: Dogs permitted on-leash at all times on the beach
1 November - 31 March: Dogs prohibited at all times on the beach
In front of the Port Melbourne Life Saving Club there are toilets, a row of beach showers, water tap and Caffe Di Lido where there are eight unshaded tables.
