How to Plan the Perfect Dog-Friendly Date in Coffs Harbour

There’s something magical about Coffs Harbour’s coastal charm that makes it perfect for romance – and even better when shared with your four-legged friend. Whether you’re planning a Valentine’s Day celebration or simply looking for a special date, our beautiful beachside region offers countless opportunities for creating memories with both your human and furry Valentine. Here at TLC Dog Boarding and Cattery, we’re passionate about helping pet parents discover the best local experiences.

Beachside Bliss 

Start your day at North Wall Beach, where your pup can run free in the designated off-leash area. The pristine stretch of golden sand provides the perfect backdrop for a morning stroll with your loved ones. Watch your dog bound through the waves while you and your partner take in the spectacular Pacific Ocean views.

Picnic Paradise 

Pack a gourmet hamper and make your way to the historic Coffs Harbour Jetty. The tranquil waterfront setting creates an ideal atmosphere for a relaxed picnic, with walking paths perfect for working up an appetite. While your dog explores the surrounding parkland on-lead, you can spread out a blanket and enjoy a selection of local delicacies.

For a more intimate setting, head to Thompsons Road Reserve. This scenic spot offers an enclosed park where your faithful friend can socialise while you enjoy quality time together. With both shaded areas and creek access, it’s the ideal location for active pups and their humans. During migration season, you might even spot whales breaching in the distance!

Cute Cafes 

When it’s time to refuel, Coffs Harbour’s cafe scene welcomes four-legged visitors with open arms. Urban Espresso Lounge offers excellent coffee and modern Australian cuisine, with outdoor seating where your pup can rest at your feet. Twenty46 provides a more laid-back vibe, complete with water bowls and dog-friendly outdoor areas.

Dining Delights 

As evening approaches, numerous venues cater to dog-friendly dining. Jetty Beach House serves up spectacular fare in their outdoor dining area – they’re known for treating our four-legged friends as valued customers! For waterfront views, Latitude 30 Restaurant welcomes furry friends in their outdoor seating area, while King Tide Brewing offers craft beers and delicious meals alongside your pup.

Fun Photo Opportunities 

Don’t forget to capture some memorable moments at the Big Banana grounds, where dogs are welcome to join you for that iconic Coffs Harbour photo. It’s the perfect way to commemorate your special day together.

Planning for Pawfection 

Remember to pack the essentials: water bowls, waste bags and perhaps a special treat for your dog. Being mindful of other patrons and their pets will ensure everyone enjoys their experience. Choose activities that suit both your dog’s energy level and your date preferences.
