The Spit Dog Beach — Attraction in Queensland

The beach here is always lovely to go to with our dog, Willow. We come here when we have a chance and Willow absolutely loves it.

The entire beach is an off leash dog area, with plenty of space on a calm day. I recommend going on a weekday because it gets pretty busy on the weekends and on public holidays.

It’s worth spending time with your dogs as when they’re gone you will regret it. In fact it’s better to spend time with them than some people haha. Take the time and bring your pups down they...

Don't go if you don't have a dog. Dog lovers are more tolerant of dog poo squishing between their toes as you walk down the sand and the waft of a giant St Bernard crapping right in front of your towel. Also they don't mind the sound of mad people screaming hysterically at their out of control pooch as it tries to mount the smorgasbord of possible doggie mates or alternatively tear someone's Chihuahua to pieces in front of everyone. I suppose dog lovers need to go somewhere but this place is chaotic on a hot day and it's not just the dogs that get...
