Trails are there for a reason. Please stick to them!

With so many visitors enjoying parks, a simple shortcut through a dune, around a wet trail, or across a meadow can have long-lasting negative impacts.

☀️ keeping your dog off the sand beaches (at all times)
☀️ not feeding the gulls or other wildlife
☀️ throwing your trash in the garbage receptacles provided in the parking lot
☀️ when walking along the shoreline please pass the fencing area without stopping.

Our Park Wardens monitor the area closely, so please be respectful and follow park rules and regulations.
