This year’s Dogs Day Out is shaping up to be extra paw-pular with the exciting addition of a Coastal Dog Walk to kick off the festivities. 

This involves a leisurely 3.2km round-trip walk from Lexcen Park and along the coastal path between Boat Harbour Quays and Resolute way exit. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Sunset Coast with your furry friend and like-minded dog lovers.
