Port Fairy is a great destination for a holiday with your pets. The Port Fairy beaches, parks and other areas are great for walking and playing with dogs, and many Port Fairy accommodation places welcome your pets - but do make arrangements for your pets with your host prior to your arrival.
Between December 1 and Easter Monday no dogs, or animals of any kind, may be on the main swimming areas of East and South beaches between the hours of 9am and 6pm. Outside these times, and during winter months, your animals are welcome.
The Russell Clarke reserve and Martin's Point are interesting and scenic areas for a stroll with your dog. Take a walk along the wharf.
