Dogs on the Beach

Given today’s dog-friendly trend for society in general, having dogs on the beach is a continual topic of discussion. Currently, dogs are restricted to the private portion of the beach based on the policies of each building/property owner. The private portion of the beach is defined as upland of the Mean High  Water Line/Erosion Control Line. This can  be confusing  because neighboring properties have different restrictions; therefore, dogs have  a right to be on some parts of the beach, but are restricted on others. The Town encourages  a spirit of community and  hopes  residents  will  be considerate of one another. In the event of an actual problem, the Police Department should be notified.
