The Rules of the Beach 

General common sense, consideration, kindness and safety efforts should always be used at the beach.

  • Never leave refuse behind - yours or a litterbug's.
  • Never go in or allow pets to go in the dunes.
  • Always use proper bathroom facilities.
  • When lighting a grill, cigarette, etc consider your neighbors downwind.
  • The beach is not an ashtray; dispose of your butts.
  • Keep pets on a leash.
  • Mind your children near the water.
  • Park properly and do not block access for others.
  • Ensure you have the proper permits for the beach you are accessing.
  • And the number one rule of the beach (if you ask my kids): NO THROWING SAND!
