My name is Sox, from Bogangar. I am a very active Kelpie x cattle dog so my owner takes me to Cabarita South beach every morning. My owner doesn’t let me bother local wildlife and she makes sure I don’t disturb other people or dogs who don’t want to play with me.
Hi, I’m Pippi from Kingscliff. I love to walk on South Kingscliff’s ‘off-leash’ beach. I’m not really interested in chasing birds, but even if I did, I know there are many endangered shorebirds in the Tweed such as the Beach Stone-curlew, so my parents keep me out of the dunes and away from birds and nests.
Tweed’s coastal areas including
beaches, estuaries and dunes are home to many threatened shore birds such as the critically endangered Beach
Stone-curlew.
Look for signs showing off-leash areas on the beach and visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/dogs to learn where you can safely take your dog on the Tweed Coast.
We also share our
beaches with sea turtles and swamp wallabies who feed
and live in the dunes.
By using designated dog
off-leash areas, and keeping your dog on a leash in all other areas,
you will protect your dog from danger.
Dogs must be on a lead at
all times in public places, unless in a
designated ‘off-leash’ area.
Providing beaches for
families to run and play with their dogs is very important to
our community
