Falcon Bay Beach Cafe

Falcon Bay Beach Cafe holds the beachfront corner on Spinaway Parade, close enough to the sand that the fish and chips come with an ocean view as standard. For dog owners this is one of the friendliest setups on the Mandurah side: the cafe's social media and visitor reports describe dogs welcome at the outdoor picnic bench seating alongside the cafe, plus a dedicated Dogs Corner on the menu with puppuccinos.

The dog setup is the picnic tables out the side rather than the cafe's own deck, which keeps things simple: order at the counter, take the benches with the dog, and the beach is a few steps away if a swim breaks out. The Dogs Corner puppuccino makes it an easy sell for families with kids and dogs, and the casual ordering style means nobody minds a sandy dog parked under the bench.

The vibe

It is beach kiosk cooking done well rather than a fine dining room: fish and chips, burgers and a brekkie burger, with the mushroom bruschetta the pick of the lighter options. Portion sizes get consistent mentions, and the hours run every day from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon, so it is a breakfast and lunch venue rather than dinner. Weekend mornings are busy with the beach crowd, midweek is calm, and either way the picnic tables make bringing the dog straightforward.

While you're out there

Falcon has the rest of a dog day covered too. Seven Trees Coffee is the neighbourhood's dog friendly coffee stop, Fermentum and Co pours dog friendly venue drinks further down the coast, and if you are staying overnight the Miami Holiday Park takes dogs.
