Moana Beach Tourist Park

Moana Beach Tourist Park sits at 44 Nashwauk Crescent, a short walk from the beach at Moana on Adelaide's southern coast. It is one of the few parks on this stretch that takes dogs year round, on the caravan and camping sites and in a dedicated pet friendly holiday house, while the standard cabins stay pet free.

Dogs at Moana Beach Tourist Park

The park's own pet rules cap it at two pets per booking. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than two metres whenever they are outside, supervised at all times and never left unattended, and they are not allowed in the pool area or other shared indoor facilities. On the sites, dogs are welcome year round. The Pet Friendly Holiday House is more restricted: listings show it blocked out over peak periods and long weekends, with a two night minimum and dogs accepted on application. Apply early and get the pet booking confirmed before you lock in travel dates, and confirm the fee and any size or breed conditions with the park directly, as costs are not published.

Max: The holiday house is limited and blocked out over peak periods, so get the pet application in before you book your dates.

Worth knowing

The beach directly in front of the park is the drawcard, and it is famously easy to reach with a dog, though check the council signage for the on-lead and off-lead zones before you unclip. That beach access, rather than the park facilities, is the reason most dog owners pick this place.

Close by with the dogs

Dukes Cafe is the local coffee stop in Moana, the Symonds Reserve fenced dog park at Aldinga Beach is a short drive south, and Maslin Beach's off-lead dog beach makes a good second outing. More options are listed under pet friendly accommodation in South Australia and Moana.
