Australia's dog-friendly beach city
Perth's dog life is saltwater-first.
South Beach and North Coogee's off-leash sand, the Swan River foreshore for morning runs, and Kings Park's trails above the city when the surf's blown out.
A Perth day out, dog included
Freo, the river, the hills - pick a lane.
River path lunch
Mr Walker on the South Perth foreshore does the skyline-view lunch; Lot One Kitchen covers the northern beaches run.
Mr WalkerHills or pub finish
Kalamunda Hotel is the hills beer garden worth the drive; The Camfield near Optus Stadium is the big-game option.

Dogs in Perth, the short version
Which Perth beaches are off-leash?
South Beach Fremantle and North Coogee are the headline off-leash stretches, with Peasholm Dog Beach at Scarborough for the northern suburbs. Most metro beaches allow dogs in designated zones before 9am.
Is Perth too hot for summer dog walks?
Morning and evening only in summer - the afternoons are genuinely dangerous for dogs. The river foreshore paths and Kings Park trails work best before 8am Jan-Feb.
Can dogs take the ferry to Rottnest?
No - Rottnest Island is car-free and dog-free (the quokkas rule). Perth's dog days stay on the mainland.
