Blues Point, Bridge views and Lavender Bay's leafy waterfront on a tiny harbour peninsula. Postcard-pretty and made for a slow, scenic stroll with a dog.

Wendy's Secret Garden, Bridge views and a hidden harbour cove. Leafy, postcard-pretty and made for a slow, scenic wander.

Towers, harbour glimpses and Luna Park grinning across the water. A business hub with green pockets tucked between — city energy, dog kept close.

Willoughby Road runs on cafes, small bars and easy dining, with leafy side streets to walk it all off. Lower north shore cool, compact and very dog-social.

A north shore business hub of towers and easy transport, with green pockets close by. Practical and handy for a quick lap.

A harbourside hideaway with Balls Head Reserve's bush trails and water views just down the hill. Quiet, ferry-close and one of the lower north shore's leafy secrets.

Harbourside and handsome, with Hayes Street cafes and Anderson Park for the off-leash crew. Ferry-close to the city, leafy and easy with a dog.

Harbour and Bridge views at every turn, with village charm and ferry-stop calm. Postcard-pretty and made for a scenic stroll with the dog.

Leafy lower north shore with Tunks Park down the hill — one of the area's great off-leash hangouts. Village calm, big trees and a dog scene to match.

Under the Bridge with Luna Park's grin and harbour views on tap. Iconic, walkable and made for a postcard stroll with the dog.
