The Best Dog Accessories for Beach & Coastal Adventures in Australia

Australia's coastline is one of the most spectacular in the world — and if you're a dog owner, chances are your pup is right there with you, paws in the sand and tail wagging. But adventuring with your dog requires the right gear. Here's our guide to the best dog accessories for beach and coastal adventures in Australia.

1. A Waterproof AirTag Holder

This is non-negotiable. Beaches are busy, off-leash areas are unpredictable, and dogs can cover a lot of ground fast. A waterproof AirTag holder keeps Apple's AirTag securely attached to your dog's collar so you can track them in real time via your iPhone — even if they bolt into the surf or disappear into the dunes.

FETCH's waterproof AirTag holders are IP67-rated, UV-stable, and available in 14 coastal colours to match your dog's beach-day vibe.

2. A Durable, Quick-Dry Collar

Standard fabric collars hold water, take forever to dry, and can cause skin irritation after a beach session. Look for a collar made from biothane or waterproof nylon that dries quickly and resists salt and sand buildup.

3. A Portable Water Bowl

Dogs dehydrate quickly in the Australian sun, especially after a big swim or run. A collapsible silicone water bowl is lightweight, easy to pack, and could save your dog from heat exhaustion on a hot day.

4. Dog-Safe Sunscreen

Yes, dogs can get sunburned — especially on their nose, ears, and belly. If your dog has a light coat or pink skin, a dog-safe SPF is a must for long beach days.

5. A Long Training Lead

Not all beaches are off-leash. A 5–10 metre training lead gives your dog the freedom to explore while keeping them safely under control in leash-required zones.

6. A Rinse Bottle or Portable Shower

Salt and sand are rough on your dog's coat and paws. A portable rinse bottle lets you wash them down before they jump in the car — your upholstery will thank you.

Pack Smart, Adventure More

The right accessories make every beach trip safer and more enjoyable for you and your dog. Start with the essentials — and make sure tracking is at the top of your list. Shop FETCH's waterproof AirTag holders and never worry about losing your dog at the beach again.
