Holidaying with Dogs

We love dogs and we want you to bring your dog on holiday!  

Esperance is a very dog friendly town. So you don't miss out on visiting the national parks, or going on a fantastic tour, Abalee Kennels on Sheldon Road can board your dog (phone 0418 81 3344). Swans Veterinary Services, also located on Sheldon Road can board cats and offer excellent veterinary services and dog grooming. And for dog grooming, Doggy Wellness Esperance is located in Balmoral Square (Ph: 9071 3363). So book your pooch in for some pampering while you head out and enjoy our wonderful area.

Twilight Cove is the only beach along the drive you cannot take your dog. All the other beaches (West Beach, 10-mile lagoon, etc) are dog friendly.

There are a few camping areas where you can camp with your dog too - please ask the staff.

You cannot "bush" camp along the Great Ocean Drive or close to the town centre. Four caravan parks in town accept your dogs, please use them. Enjoy your holiday - and we hope your dog enjoys their holiday too
