Lead the way

Start by planning your adventure around accommodation that’s pet-friendly, working your way through this list.

If you’re spending your nights beachside, spend your days leaving pawprints in the sand by sniffing out the best dog beaches along our 6,973km of coastline.

If sand in your fur isn’t your thing, point your nose towards the hinterland and further west for bush-walks (note, our national parks are not pet-friendly) and farm stays who love your fur-baby as much as you do. 

No matter where your adventures lead you, you’ll find an array of cafes and restaurants across Queensland who welcome pets with open arms to fuel your pet-friendly adventure. 

For extra fur action, time your visit for one of our dog-friendly events. Whether it’s giving your furrier half the chance to be a farm-dog for the day at the Birdsville Big Red Bash or riding the waves at the Noosa Festival of Surfing, this calendar of events promises to break up the sit, fetch, roll routine. 

No matter where your four-legged adventure takes you – there’s just one rule to ensure man’s best friend stays that way: please be a responsible dog owner and clean up after your pet.
