The posted speed limit is 15mph on beach property.

All crossovers allow LEASHED dogs only where vehicles are allowed and all dog rules apply.

Crossover Dune Posts
Please be aware that vehicles are not allowed west of any dune post in order to maintain the stability and integrity of the dunes. During high tides vehicles must either exit the beach or drive as close to the dune post as possible without going west of the post. Driving west of the post is prohibited and subject to fines and revocation of vehicle permit.


Porta Potties / Boardwalk / Mobility Mats / Ramps
The mobility mats, ramps off the boardwalk and stairs have been removed for the season due to impending storms.  Please access the beach at the foot paths.  Porta potties will be removed for the season starting October 2nd.


Dog Areas 

Dogs are allowed (on leash) on the bayside area, directly behind the Ranger shack. Leashed dogs are also allowed on all Crossovers. Dogs are not allowed on the front resident ocean side beach or the bayside north of the bridge until September 16th.

 

CROSSOVER ACCESS PROCEDURE

Crossovers will open at 8:00 a.m. and vehicles MUST line up behind the gate in the Resident Lot.  Only those vehicle permit holders lined up behind the gate in the resident lot will be eligible for Crossover access. Please do not drive down the back road and line up by the crossover. This will forfeit your spot in line and you will have to go to the end of the line in the Resident Lot.
