If your dog’s big brown eyes pull at your heartstrings every time you leave the house, don’t worry. We’ve found some great pet-friendly Sunshine Coast cafés, both on the coast and in the hinterland, you can take your furriest family member. This way you can both have a fun day out!
Start on the coastline by heading to Dicky Beach Park
Start your day off with a fun run around the Dicky Beach Park with your pet. With dogs allowed off leash while in the park, your pup is sure to love it here! Once your dog is all tuckered out, it’s time to have a rest and possibly some breakfast!
Where: Beerburrum St & Cooroy St, Dicky Beach QLD 4551
Hop in the car—it’s brekky time!
The Moorings Café Restaurant
Just 10 minutes’ drive from the Dicky Beach Park you will find The Moorings Café Restaurant. Offering great alfresco dining on the deck, you and your pet are more than welcome to kick back and relax here. Just be sure your dog is happy, relaxed and on a leash at all times.
With a varied breakfast menu including light raisin toast through to something more filling, such as their full breakfast, there’s something for every budget and appetite here. If you get here a bit later in the day, don’t worry—open from 7:30am until 3pm, The Moorings Café Restaurant offers a delicious lunch menu as well.

No stress, no separation anxiety—just a relaxing place to kick back and enjoy a good old-fashioned lunch with one of your favourites.
