A big grassy off-leash reserve by Curl Curl Lagoon, with water access for dogs who love a swim.
Flora and Ritchie Roberts Reserve is a wide stretch of open grass on the southern side of Curl Curl Lagoon, right near the beach.
The off-leash area takes in part of the shared path and some lagoon access, so dogs can cool off with a paddle. Curl Curl Beach itself is off limits to dogs.
It pairs well with Adams Street Reserve next door for a longer loop. Watch for cyclists and walkers on the shared path. Early mornings are quieter, before the beach crowd arrives.
