Dogs on Long Beach 

Dogs are welcome at Long Beach - but their presence is subject to a strict set of rules which both residents and visitors are expected to comply with.

Importantly: Pick up your dog's droppings and dispose of them in the bins provided. The LBCA and Council provide waste bags for those who forgot them - available from dispensers at the Bay Road Car Park and at four other entry points to the beach along Sandy Place.

Owners must maintain effective control of their dog at all times. Do not allow your dog to approach people or other dogs unless and until they have given their consent. Be aware of the life-threatening risk that ticks can pose, protect your dog with appropriate anti-tick treatments and check regularly for any ticks that your dog may have been picked up.

Know the regulations governing where dogs are permitted and where they are prohibited!
- Dogs are PERMITTED on the beach from the Bay Road car park West towards Square Head. Dogs may be exercised off-leash in this area, but must at all times be under effective control of their owners.
- Dogs are NOT ALLOWED on the beach East from the car park to the end of Bay Road. Heavy fines can be imposed on owners who take their dogs onto the beach in this zone.
- Dogs are also NOT ALLOWED in the Murramarang National Park or Cullendulla Nature Reserve (which includes Square Head).
- Dogs must be kept on a leash when on public property other than the afore-mentioned Western end of Long Beach.

Refer to the map to the right to eliminate any uncertainty regarding permissible access on Long Beach! For comprehensive information on the Council regulations affecting the management of dogs at Long Beach, refer to the Eurobodalla Shire Council's "Companion Animal Management Plan - 2018".

Effective Control: When in the public realm all dogs must be under effective control at all times, even when on the dogs-allowed off-leash section of the beach.

Having effective control means an owner can prevent the dog from approaching other animals or people by either: restraining the dog using a leash or by holding or confining the dog; or having the dog in sight, with the dog faithfully responding to the owner's commands.

Please do not allow your dog to approach a person, or another dog, without checking first. The beach is to be shared by all users. Some dogs need more space, even from other friendly dogs.

Dogs needing space may be young and in training, recovering from injury or illness, nervous, in season, or just old and grumpy ... but these dogs are entitled to use the beach as much as any other dog.

NSW Legislation provides for significant penalties if a dog rushes at, attacks, bites, harasses or chases any person or animal, whether or not any injury is caused. Significant penalties (between $1,320 and $11,000) can apply, depending on the circumstances.

For more information, or concerns about dogs not under effective control, Council’s rangers can be contacted on 02 4474 0109 or by email rangers@esc.nsw.gov.au

Access Paths to the West End of Long Beach 

​Walks Around Long Beach​ - From West to East

Square Head Track 1

​Access this 30-45 minute walking track from the carpark at the top of Blairs Road. Leading to the entrance of Cullendulla Creek, this terrific short walk touches swamp oak and spotted gum forest before revealing a peaceful beach and rest spot in sight of Cullendulla Beach and the Batemans Bay township. It's rated as Grade 3, so expect a moderate-to-steep gradient, but it’s worth it. Pack a picnic lunch and bring the kids along, or bring a birding guide and watch white ibises and black swans drift across the creek. In the warmer months, this is an ideal place for a swim, too - the small estuary beach is protected from onshore winds by Square Head, and the bay, though unpatrolled, is calm enough for swimming. If you fancy a round of fishing, turn left at the carpark and follow the other Square Head track instead. NPWS info here.

Acheron Ledge 

The Acheron Ledge walking track, in southern Murramarang National Park, is 1.5 km return trip. It is rated as Grade 3 and should take walkers 30mins to 1 hour. The entry point is opposite 64 Maloneys Drive and it leads to a remote beach offering swimming, fishing and snorkelling with great ocean views to Batemans Bay. Alternatively, walkers can start at the Maloneys Beach foreshore and use the 131 steps at the beginning of the Murrumarang Coastal Walk. NPWS Info.

Square Head Track 2 

​Access this 30-45 minute walking track from the carpark at the top of Blairs Road. Looking for a great place to survey Batemans Bay and the nearby islands? This charming walk through fragrant spotted gum forest follows a vehicle management trail, with plenty of honeyeaters, little lorikeets, and echidnas foraging around the burrawangs below. After a short hike, you reach the scenic Square Head, where generous views out to sea encompass Batemans Bay, Long Beach, Snapper Island, and the two Tollgate islands. Keep the camera handy – you might even spot a pair of endangered gang-gang cockatoos perched in the bush. The nearby estuary beach offers a terrific picnic spot. If you enjoy fishing, an informal access track to the water below is popular with rock fishermen from the local area. NPWS info here.

Maloneys to South Durras 

Starting from the car park at Maloneys Beach with views over to Batemans Bay and the resident kangaroos, the walk presents a daunting climb up 131 stairs to the headland. This will get your heart pumping and is the hardest climb of the day. Once on the headland you walk through a forest and down to Yellow Rock and then onto North Head Beach. Head past North Head campground and up to North Head lookout which will give you wonderful views over to Honeysuckle Bay. It’s then over Oaky Beach and back into dense forest scenery before the forest provides vantage points into secluded bays like Richmond Beach, Myrtle Beach, Dark Beach and Emily Miller Beach. Wasp Head provides your last headland before dropping down onto the beach again at South Durras near the resort. Enjoy a well-deserved rest here and grab something to eat. Fit walkers can challenge themselves back to Maloneys Beach or arrange a car shuffle at South Durras. You could even stay the night and then walk back the next day. This walk can be made shorter at any point by returning to Maloneys Beach. Access a full map at National Parks NSW.

Long Beach to Maloneys

​The Route to Maloneys is an informal track that is still in need of improvement. Steps put in place by local residents were removed a few years ago, as they had fallen into disrepair. 
The LBCA is trying to get these steps reinstated, which would make this track safer for walkers. 

Murramarang Trail

​
This three day walk, where you can then stop in Long Beach in one of the many AirBnb's to relax and recover. 
Check out the video.
