Pets and Wildlife

• Treat the beach like your own backyard.  If your pet poops, scoop it up and carry it out. Keep an empty plastic bag tied to your dog leash so you're always prepared!

• Do not feed gulls or other birds at the beach. Their feces can end up in the same water you swim in.

• Trash attracts wildlife and other animals.  Always carry your trash out or dispose of it in proper receptacles.
