The Mornington Peninsula has a great variety of off and on leash dog beaches that can be used by dog owners all year round.  Many of the beach areas have spectacular views of the bay and also the city sky line.  Remember when visiting any beach or off leash area there are a few things that you need to do, such as:

• Always clean up after your dog.  Many council areas around Victoria provide dog poo bins and plastic bags for dog owners to do this.  It is always a good idea to still take your own supply of 2 or 3 plastic bags as some areas do not always have plastic bags available all of the time.

• Check the signs for the beach areas and obey the council directions when using the beach.  Some beach areas are only available during certain times and days of the week - be sure to follow these restrictions as local councils are quick to fine pople who break the rules.  Cheeky Dog is as uptodate as possible, but if you are unsure whether a beach is off or on leash contact your council to check.

• Dogs off leash must still be under effective control at all times.  Most councils do not allow restricted breeds to be exercised off leash in any of these public areas.

• Dogs off leash must be kept at least 50 meters from childrens play equipment areas and public picnic areas.
