A holiday destination for the whole family… including pets
Did you know Lorne welcomes all family members on holidays? Your little furry friends are welcome on numerous walking tracks all-year-round from beach walks, forest walks and foreshore strolls.
Popular pet friendly walking tracks include North Lorne Beach, Shelly Beach and the Lorne Foreshore.
