The Dunes Ocean Grove

The Dunes is a casual beachside restaurant and bar at 30 Surf Beach Road, Ocean Grove, looking straight out over the beach. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck, and there is a separate takeaway kiosk, so it works as a walk-and-dine stop straight off the sand.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area and on the deck, which has umbrellas for shade. Inside the main restaurant is generally not open to dogs. The venue is known as genuinely dog-friendly, with water bowls available and often a free treat for dogs from the kiosk. There is easy access straight off the beach path.

Good to know. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with a modern Australian menu, plus the kiosk for quick takeaway bites. The unobstructed beach and dune views are the main draw.

Getting there. Ample free parking in the beachside car park directly in front of the venue.

Nearby with the dogs. The beach is right out front, with seasonal off-leash times; check the posted signs on the day. Thirteenth Beach is a short drive for off-leash running at designated times, and the surrounding dune paths suit a walk before or after a meal.
