Start your walk from the Mornington Life Saving club through the Mornington Foreshore Reserve. As you continue on, the path will lead you down to Mothers Beach – a lovely golden sandy beach with many quirky boat houses for you to ponder over along the way. Dogs are required to be on the lead here but as you continue on to the other side of the Mornington Pier, you will reach a 24h dog off leash Royal Beach.

This hidden dogs’ paradise has clear blue water, rock pools and hardly any other people there. The cliffs behind you make it easier to ensure you dogs don’t run off onto the roads as it is very closed in.
