The CNR

Can the dog come? Yes, at the outdoor tables. The CNR is a relaxed corner cafe at 467 Beach Road, Beaumaris, sitting right across from the foreshore, which makes it a natural stop on a coastal walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the footpath and outdoor seating. The cafe is genuinely dog-friendly and is known to put out fresh water bowls and treats for visiting dogs. Settle in at a footpath table with the bay in view.

Good to know. It is built around good coffee, with a simple, satisfying line-up of toasties and fresh daily pastries. The location across from the beach makes it a handy start, midpoint or finish for a foreshore walk.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Beach Road but gets busy on sunny weekend mornings. Buses run along Beach Road, and it is a walk from Sandringham or Mentone stations.

Nearby with the dogs. The Beaumaris foreshore is directly across the road; check signage for the designated off-leash zones and hours. Donald MacDonald Reserve is a short walk away, and the Bayside coastal trail traces the water.
