Salt & Oak

Salt & Oak sits at 251 West Coast Drive, right across from the beach, a coastal eatery and whisky bar with ocean views. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating out front, making it an easy stop after a foreshore walk.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor footpath seating facing West Coast Drive, where you get the ocean outlook. As a food venue, the indoor dining area is not for dogs, but the front terrace is the popular spot for owners. Staff will often bring water for your dog, though a portable bowl is worth packing for a warm afternoon.

Good to know. It runs morning to night, with fresh breakfast, coffee and light coastal plates through the day, shifting to dinner and a whisky selection in the evening. Daytime is the more relaxed window for sitting outside with a dog.

Getting there. Street parking runs along West Coast Drive but fills fast on sunny days and weekends, so arrive early or plan to walk in. The venue sits directly on the coastal path.

Nearby with the dogs. The North Beach dog beach off-leash zone is a short walk along West Coast Drive, so you can fold a swim in either side of a coffee.
