Please stay out of the dunes. There are piping plovers with nests in the dunes and grassy areas.  These birds are endangered and protected. We are very fortunate to be one of few beaches that the piping plovers call home. So please keeps dogs on a leash and stay away from the grass and dunes to help keep the pipping plovers safe!

The dunes are also protected separately from the Pipping plovers. We need the dunes to keep our beach and other wildlife healthy! Driving over, and digging in the dunes is harmful, so please keep out of the grass and off the dunes!
