Best dog beach in the area. Much cleaner than Brighton and I feel more comfortable getting in (to my calves) with my dog because of this. So many friends and lots of parking! It’s always a great day when we go to the doggy beach.

Amazing experience, great place for a play and with a dog friendly cafe, the water isn't deep at all... But not to take away from the place there was one Karen with a poodle that kept on going off about our 'dangerous' our dog was and how she felt 'unsafe' about our puppy, but must of forgot where she was. It was a laugh and just remember to tell them to go away xx

Stunning dog beach, even better when you have good weather! Our dogs loved a good swim, stick throwing and generally going crazy with other dogs in the area. Plenty of space on the beach for a good run around. Would definitely recommend. Parking can be expensive however!

Me and my family love to bring our dogs here as it's super dog friendly and generally pretty clean and quiet which is nice. We brought our family dog here for his last beach trip as he's quite sick and won't be able to do it anymore and was really lovely. It was a pretty overcast day when I went there last but was still such a nice place to hang out

Calm, neat, not crowded, serene and beautiful! All the characteristics one would like in a peaceful sun sunset viewing beach .. very close to the Hampton station as well .. one of the best sunsets I have seen so far and a slightly elevated top creates a good viewing spot too. . Must visit on a good day 😊

Nice place to take your dog friend for a walk. People there feels quite relaxed, you can walk your dog unleashed. Recommend to go after 8 in a summer day, as the parking there is quite expensive. Plus you can enjoy the sunset around that time.

I loved this beach. Nearest Caffè is great place. The place is family friendly with nice and quiet environment. It will provide you best Oz beach touch. Thanks

Underrated, under reported. Get down here, one of the flattest, quietest, nicest inner city beaches in the area.

This beach is off leash all year round. There is a 750m long section of sand and shallow water which is great for dogs whether they like running along the beach, having a swim or a wade through the shallows. There are bins in the area and a track from the pier leads to toilets, water tap with dog bowl and the Sandy Beach kiosk. There are a number of paths down to the beach. Jetty Road leads to several car parks at the Hampton Pier end which have paid parking (8am - 8pm). There is also a carpark on the north side of Trevor Barker oval. A few tracks lead down from Beach Road. Parking next to the beach is expensive but it is possible to find some free parking if you are willing to walk a bit.

Be careful of the broken glasses while on a beach walk without shoes

Sandridge Beach is the last beach before you hit the Port of Melbourne, situated in Hobson's Bay [Port Phillip Bay]. New Beach is next door and after that Port Melbourne Beach, plus Princes and Station Piers respectively. Port Melbourne Beach was formerly labelled Sandridge Beach but changed its name. The name 'Sandridge' goes back to 1839 because this area used to be full of dunes/ridges. The beach is in the form of a crescent, with a promenade along the length of it. There are plenty of places to sit, and trees protect the foreshore, so the wind factor is lessened. The water is relatively shallow, but there is much seaweed, and with the shipping channels nearby it would be a personal choice in regards to swimming here. The beaches here get cleaned regularly and surfaces trowled to clear any dangerous objects in the sand. There is a kiosk connected to the newish Life-Saving Club, where you can buy snacks, get changed and there is a car park. There is parking along the road free or pay station - be sure to check the signs. It is a safe and popular place for kayaking, bike riding and other exercises. Quite a few people go fishing off the stone piers/lookouts. These lookouts are a stand out of this beach and give excellent panoramic views of the area—worth a visit.

This beach is extremely nice!! Especially in winter before the dog restrictions, it’s literally a whole stretch of off leash fun with all sorts of different terrain to explore. Love it so much 😍🐕

Fantastic dog beach with walking tracks close by and a conveniently located cafe on site. Drive right down the access road until it ends. The beach is located a short 50 meter walk. Parking is payable before 8pm, so be prepared as parking officers do patrol area.

Nice people Nice dogs Always somewhere different to walk A great place

Not clean. Missing infrastructure like chairs, sport camp for volleyball or footvolley. Very close to the port.

A hidden beach...a good one for the barbeque evenings

The beach itself is ok but the location overlooking the shipping yards may not be to everyone's tastes.

Great view and playground for kids

So many active dogs and happy people

Wonderful dog beach sectioned off in its own area. Has public toilets, dog water taps and bowls, picnic benches, parking and grass area. There is also a kiosk to purchase snacks from - it has it all. Plus it is picturesque right next to Sandringham Yacht Club.

Best dog beach in Melbourne !!!

Great for all dog lovers. It is really shallow at low tide, so all the canine friends, and two legged ones, can have a blast splashing about. The best part though, is to watch the sunset in winter. The absolute best view around this part of the bay, for sure!

Nice beach

Really great beach, water is always spotlessly clean and quite calm as it’s well protected by a number of rock walls and the pier/breakwater. Great spot to bring the dog to run around as the water is nice n shallow, or have a swim yourself in the clear water. We especially like the northern end! Good facilities close by a the Hampton life saving club and plenty of free parking around if you look.

Great place to walk the dog and cool off yourself in the shallow water

Instantly became my favourite place to go for a walk, now just waiting until it’s a tiny bit warmer so we can both have swim. Topped off with a nice cafe in the car park

Gsp heaven!

This is the best dog beach in Melbourne!

Dog friendly! It's a wonderful place for a day out with your dog, allowing them to run, play, and even take a dip in the beach.

Not the best beach but it's quiet, it's on an industrial area so there's restrictions for water activities

Not the best beach of Melbourne!

Nice spacious beach. Lots of shallow water to wade through. Bins for dog poo. No dog poo bags available though. There's a little shower and dog bowl for water at the showers next to a little cafe. One section of the beach next to the pier has a very stinky seaweed muck dark brown sand otherwise the rest of the beach is lovely. Most dogs are off lead. Most owners are in control of their dogs. Haven't seen any real dog fights or issues there which I think is partly due to how much space there is for dogs to get away from each other if needed.

It is somewhat of a quieter beach in the area. Not bad but it does not have many amenities compared to Port Melbourne, South Melbourne or St Kilda. However, there is a nice playground next to it in the Reserve. The location next to the Docks may not be to everyone's taste. Parking is not too hard to find. Public Transport connections are somewhat poor however. Quickest way from the CBD would be to take a 109 Tram to Port Melbourne and switch to a 236 Bus.

Lost part of me here, recovering as I speak...

Great views and walk.

So easy to get to, good parking (gotta pay of course), usually plenty of dogs and good owners just out to let their dog have fun. Let them have a splash and eat seaweed!

Perfect place to let your dog have a swim, but beware ALL OTHER DOGS ARE OFF LEASH, very rocky, sand isn't the best

Good stretch of beach for the doggies!

Lovely place for swimming

It was really fun!

Awesome place

Wonderful place to spend peaceful evening. Awesome location and great viewings. View of sky during sunset is beyond words.

Closets Beach near my house and its not that bad. Would definitely recommend going here

Excellent beach with good swimming. Parking and toilets available.

Great beach BUT Disgusting toilets!!! I don't know who to call to report this, which council what number..

Amazing beach

A nice beach for a walk. Not one of Melbourne's best beaches, but sure does give a taste.

Good spot

This is one of my favourite dog beaches I. Melbourne. Very clean, so you can sit and have a tan and the amount of space there is for the dogs running around is perfect.

Great dog area

Love it

Great for dog walking

Every helpful every knowledgeable.

Best beach for dogs in the area! So nice to have a long stretch beach to walk along while the dogs play.

Stunning off leash dog friendly beach

Great place to take your dog

(Translated by Google) very beautiful (Original) 很漂亮

Woof woof

Great dog beach!!

Hi there had a great time walking layne my dog on the sand bars he ran around the sun was great people were hiking along tracks some eating has a toilet block now with disabled toilet

One of the best sunsets ever . Absolutely loved it

Wide area for dogs to run and jump. Shallow beach for small dogs to swim along side their humans

The number of dogs is more than human. Great!!!

Great place for a walk with a great view and some amazing cafes near by!!

Good at low tide with plenty of room for mutts to run and sniff. Not the prettiest site - but other options to run your dog on the beach aren't that good around here!

Great place to walk far with dogs....

Long stretch Of beach lots of dogs but plenty of room. Great low tide for a small dogs to swim

If I am in Bayside city council, I prefer this dog beach because it's very accessible. The car park is a short walk to the foreshore, toilets, water, dog bags, kiosk, making it a very convenient time out with the dogs. The beach in itself is a long stretch of shallow water, perfect for zoomies and kids to paddle in. However, in some areas the water quickly dips in and is deep quickly, so can be dangerous for humans, but perfect for swimming dogs. The area can be a bit smelly. Nice locals and respectful dog owners. There's a small pier, ok access for wheelchair or 4 wheel walker. We walked an elderly 4 wheel walker on the pier then down onto the hard wet sand, then pushed the walker near the water, it was ok. Once a month there's the Bayside Famers Market on, it gets very busy very quickly making it difficult to find carpark, and can be quite noisy for a nervous pup. Parking per hour is $5.70, unless you park in near by streets and walk down, but it's a fair walk. The Sandy kiosk sells meat pies, breakfast, teas coffee's, unfortunately no fish and chips. The kiosk is attached to a surf hire/schoool, which usually park their canoes on the sand at the foreshore, but still plenty of space for doggies to run around. Plenty of access to water, and outside shower to wash dog, humans or feet afterwards. Toilets/bathroom are new and quite clean condition.

Great for dogs, but pretty average for people. The issue is that a large number of dog owners that frequent the area fail to clean up after their pups. There is a miasma of canine feces in the air at times... If you chance upon a day when there hasn't been a lot of fresh "activity", it's a beautiful beach with millpond smooth conditions perfect for kayaking and SUPing.

Good place for a relaxing day out with your dogs and fishing too.

Great beach to bring your dogs to.

Perfect shallow water for dogs to play in 👍

Lovely quiet beach and calm, clear water. Great little cafe with good range and fair prices. SUP boards to hire and best of all it's dog friendly!

Nice beach. It can get busy with lots of dogs about.

Walk here most nights lovely people with friendly dogs

Awesome photography spot!

Nice little enclosed beach.

Vibrant scene of people and dogs

Boys love it awesome dog beach nice and clean ???

Great place once around the breakwater, love the nature patch development

Lovely, clean, fun for the doggies and their humans.

Nice spot for the dog walk. Just were afraid to be eaten by the flies ?

Great place to take the dog for a run in a lovely warm autumn afternoon

It was awesome with dogs and people, tranquil.

Nice beach for morning or evening walks..

Lots of dogs and plenty of beach! (Tide allowing)

Fantastic place! Great beach! Sea! And dog friendly! ?????

I've been coming here for years. It's my favorite place to let the dogs have a run and swim. I always seem to meet nice people too.l

Beautiful beach

Best beach in Melbourne.
