On a lead

We love meeting your furry friends, and this busy public beach is a popular spot for dog walking. While dogs are welcome at our event, please be mindful that not all attendees may be comfortable around them. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we kindly ask that you keep your dog on a lead at all times. During mud dipping, please keep dogs out of the muddy pools, as they can churn up the silt and disturb the wildlife we’re trying to find. Thank you for your co-operation!
