Have a waterfront adventure along QLD beaches

Queensland beaches and island adventures offer a whole world of unique excitement and relaxation. Those who are looking for pet-friendly accommodation will find that these kinds of adventures can be ideal as very often they allow you to bring your 4-legged furry family members along on your excursions. While bars and clubs may be questionable venues for pets, beaches and islands are often quite welcoming. You’ll still want to check local regulations, but a sunset walk along the beach with your dog can be an outstanding experience.

Go snorkelling alongside sea life at the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is just off the Queensland shore and is considered part of the state. It’s the largest coral reef system in the world and is comprised of over 2,900 individual coral reefs, plus 900 islands that stretch for over 2,300 kilometres. It supports thousands of species of diverse marine animal life and is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. A snorkelling excursion in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park can give you access to a whole breathtaking undersea world that is as beautiful as it is alien.

Have a freshwater beach experience at Fraser Island

Fraser Island is located just off the eastern coast of Queensland, just a short ferry ride from your dog-friendly accommodation. It offers a completely different beach experience on one of the world’s largest sand islands at over 120 kilometres across. Here you can experience panoramic views from Indian Head, the easternmost rocky outcropping, or relax and enjoy a beach and swimming experience alongside freshwater pools like Lake McKenzie and Lake Wabby. Here you can relax with your dog or go camping for a night under the stars.

Take a day trip among the Whitsunday Islands

The Whitsunday Islands make for a stunning day trip. There are 74 of these land masses, which form a part of the Great Barrier Reef. Most are uninhabited and offer dense stretches of rain forest crisscrossed with hiking trails, and there are beaches with endless stretches of soft, white sand. Your most immediate access to these islands is from your dog-friendly accommodation in Airlie Beach, the mainland central hub for ferry trips. You can enjoy lush green foliage, view natural wildlife and relax in the sun and sand with your dog right at your side.
