The Team from Whangarei District Council

We're coming close to the annual times that dogs are banned on beaches, so if your pooch likes to jump and dig and sunbathe then you'd better go soon.

We're coming close to the annual times that dogs are banned on beaches, so if your pooch likes to jump and dig and sunbathe then you'd better go soon.

Dogs are not allowed on most Whangarei District beaches from 9:00am until 5:00pm between 20 December and 31 January - so there are two weekends to go before the temporary rule-change this year.

Our webpage has some suggestions for other great places to take dogs this summer, and two options for year-round dog-friendly beaches in Bream Bay.

Just remember to take your dog-bags and a drinking bowl!

I hope we can eventually get it to 95% or higher for full vaccinations, given that we usually see a huge influx of visitors over the holidays.
Quite a few Whangārei suburbs make the top 20 at the moment. See image below for a screenshot of Ministry of Health data, as of 3-Nov 2021. The percentages are hiding in the two rightmost columns, as the number of doses per 1,000 people.
