Girdlers Café - Narrabeen

Girdlers Cafe sits at the north end of Narrabeen Beach on Narrabeen Park Parade, right by the surf club, and it is a wholefood cafe known for buckwheat crepes and good coffee rather than a dedicated dog spot, but dogs are welcome outside.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed at the small footpath tables outside, overlooking the beach approach. Indoors is not an option here. Seating is limited, so it can mean a wait on busy mornings. Bring your own water bowl, it is not guaranteed on the footpath tables. Keep dogs on a short lead, the pavement gets busy with beach traffic.

Good to know. The menu leans healthy: savoury crepes, smoothies, vegan and gluten-free options, alongside specialty coffee. It is a popular stop for locals coming off the beach or the headland walk.

Getting there. Girdlers is at 1 Narrabeen Park Parade, North Narrabeen. Free street parking is available on Ocean Street and Narrabeen Park Parade, though it fills on weekends, and there is a paid car park nearby as a backup.

Nearby with the dogs. The North Narrabeen headland walk starts right next door, and Narrabeen Lagoon trail is a short walk or drive away for a proper off-leash stretch.

Go early to grab one of the few outdoor tables before the weekend beach crowd arrives. Good for a quick coffee before or after a headland walk.
