Kirra Beach Tourist Park

Kirra Beach Tourist Park is a council-run holiday park within walking distance of Kirra Beach and the Coolangatta shops. It takes dogs, but only on certain sites, so the fit depends on how you are staying.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed on designated dog-friendly caravan and camping sites, not in the cabins or villas. Pets must be kept under control at all times and within the pet-friendly areas of the park. The listings do not spell out size limits or fees, so confirm both when you book. This is a popular park, so dog sites can be limited, especially in peak season.

The place. A large, well-kept caravan and camping park with a heated pool and clean amenities. The trade-off is aircraft noise, given how close the airport is.

Location and nearby. The big draw is the walk to the beach and shops, with the Kirra and Coolangatta beachfront paths close for on-lead walks. Check signage for off-leash times.

Before you book. Contact Gold Coast Tourist Parks directly to confirm a dog-friendly site is available for your dates, along with any size limit and fee. If you need a cabin, this is not the park for dogs.
