Paradiso Airlie Beach

Paradiso is a beachfront restaurant and rooftop bar on Shute Harbour Road in Airlie Beach, looking out across the Coral Sea and the lagoon. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which fronts directly onto the pedestrian path for easy walk-in access.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and alfresco areas, with footpath-level access off the boardwalk. Staff are known to bring out water bowls. The air-conditioned indoor restaurant is not open to dogs. It is worth calling ahead to confirm a dog-friendly table in busy periods.

Known for. Waterfront views over the lagoon and Coral Sea, a modern Australian menu with tropical leanings, a long cocktail list and frequent live music.

Getting there and parking. 265 Shute Harbour Road. Paid street parking and public car parks near the lagoon are the options, and it is easy to reach along the boardwalk or main-street footpaths.

Nearby with the dogs. The Airlie Beach boardwalk runs along the water for an on-leash walk, and Boathaven Beach is a short walk away and dog-friendly on-lead. Dogs cannot enter the lagoon swimming area but can be walked through the surrounding parklands.

Best timed around the live music or a sunset drink. Good for settled dogs comfortable in a busy beachfront crowd.
