Enjoy Sunset Beach with Your Furry Friend!

We love our four-legged visitors just as much as our human ones! To keep our beach a fun and safe place for everyone, please follow our dog-friendly guidelines while enjoying the sand and surf.

🐶 When Can Dogs Visit the Beach?

🕘 Summer Rules (Friday before Memorial Day – Labor Day)
❌ 9 AM – 6 PM: No dogs allowed on the beach.
✅ Before 9 AM & After 6 PM: Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed and under control at all times.

🗓️ Off-Season (After Labor Day – Friday before Memorial Day)
✅ Dogs are welcome anytime on the beach, as long as they are leashed and under control.

💩 Clean Up After Your Pup!

Nobody likes a messy beach! Dog waste is a health hazard and harms our ocean and wildlife. Owners must carry bags and properly dispose of pet waste—it's the law. Failure to do so can result in a $100 fine per offense.

🐕 Be a Responsible Pet Parent

✔️ Always keep your dog on a leash.
✔️ Pick up after your pet and dispose of waste properly.
✔️ Respect beachgoers and wildlife while enjoying your walk.
