1. Beach with Your Buddy
Jervis Bay is perfect for dog owners looking for a place to bring their dog on holiday, as most of the beaches allow on-leash dogs during normal hours. Taking your pup for an energising sandy run is no obstacle at any time of day, and fortunately many of those shimmering coastlines also have off-leash hours, so you can go for a surfing trip or a lunchtime picnic and let your four-legged friend stretch their legs.
Read up on the Top 5 Dog-Friendly Beaches in Jervis Bay and find out the exact times of off-leash hours on the beaches in the Shoalhaven.
2. Pours with Your Pup
Enjoy some brews in the sun in the dog-friendly Pavilion Terrace at Huskisson Hotel and beer gardens at Jervis Bay Brewing Co and Flamin’ Galah Brewing Co. Have a fantastic lunch and locally brewed beers with your mates and your dog freely enjoying the sunshine at your feet. With all these fantastic venues within easy walking distance of each other, why not multitask with a dog walk and a pub crawl at the same time?
3. Hike with Your Hound
One of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful area you find yourself in is to simply get your walking shoes on and start exploring. To keep your pooch included, avoid the walks through national parks as they’re generally off-limits to dogs for nature conservation reasons, but there are still plenty of paths available to you.
For tiny pups and older dogs, take an easy stroll on the Mangrove Boardwalk that explores the wetlands at Currambene Creek, or go to one of the local markets and enjoy wandering among the stalls; the Huskisson Markets, Jervis Bay Maritime Museum Markets, and the Pyree Village Art, Craft and Handmade Markets are all on monthly. If you’re feeling adventurous, check out Mermaid Inlet and Gosangs Tunnel – you’ll have to climb over, under and through some rock formations and the view will be well worth it.
4. Chow with Your Chum
In addition to the food trucks and restaurants inside the Huskisson breweries, there are also plenty of food spots that won’t turn away your furry friend. The Shoalhaven is all about cosy towns, sunshine, and friendly people, and most cafes have sun-soaked outdoor seating that welcomes leashed dogs. Sit down for some fish n chips looking out onto the beach or on the main street and enjoy lunch in the fresh air.
5. Down Time with Your Doggo
Many of our beautiful holiday homes are pet-friendly and equipped with dog bowls, toys, and fenced backyards, so if you’re tuckered out from roaming all around the local sights, hang out back at your vacation base with an easy game of catch or just lie in the sun with your furry buddy.
At Professional Holidays Homes, we’re careful to take note of the fencing on our properties, so if you have a fence-hopper in the family, get in touch and we’ll find you the perfect holiday house to give you relaxation and peace of mind.
