Park Regulations

This area is for camping only; day use is prohibited. You must have a permit to camp. Camping is permitted in designated areas only. No camping is allowed in dunes, grasslands, or mudflats. Do not leave or bury trash on the beach or toss it into the dunes. Pets are allowed in camping areas but must be contained or kept on a leash that stretches no more than six feet from the owner at all times. Do not allow pets to disturb other campers or chase wildlife. Be considerate of other visitors and the park by cleaning up after your pet. Do not disturb or feed gulls, coyotes, or other wildlife. Coyotes have been known to raid campsites and closed coolers that are left out. Gulls can also be a nuisance and even steal food. To avoid attracting unwelcome animals, put food and belongings in your vehicle’s trunk when they are not in use, and properly bag and dispose of all trash.
