This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has a little creek (Ettlalong Creek) that the kids will love. The waves at the beach here is really gentle so its good for younger kids too. This is flat and good for beginners. It is also a wonderful beach for a night walk, particularly with a full moon.

There is a shower in the small carpark so you can wash your kids and dogs off, then wash your feet off while keeping an eye in them in the car, which is great.

South Umina Beach is dog friendly and is an off leash area.

Click on the map, it is powered by open street map and shows you where the dog area is. You can click on the navigator icon to show you where you are and check if you are in the dog friendly area.
