Dog off-leash areas

Kiama is a pet-friendly destination with plenty of open space for dogs to enjoy, but it's important to know the local rules. This page provides details on approved off-leash areas, a helpful map, and information about places where dogs are not allowed or must remain on-leash. Doggy waste bags are available at many sites, and we ask all pet owners to follow responsible management practices to help keep our public spaces clean, safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Before visiting any of our dog off leash areas, we kindly ask that you review the guidelines about where you can responsibly take your dog in our area.
