The off-leash brochure names Palm Beach, Tallebudgera Beach, The Spit, Biggera Waters foreshore, Labrador foreshore and Paradise Point foreshore. It does not name Tugun Beach. The register prohibits Tugun Hill Conservation Area and Tugun Quarry Reserve, which are parks, not the ocean beach. Tugun Beach has no calculable boundary. There is no live status.
Unless you are in a designated off leash area, and to maximise public safety, all dogs in a public place must be kept on a leash at all times.
