May we remind you All, that this beach is part of our Marine Sanctuary, which was created to protect the natural habitat and species of the Sanctuary’s environment. Many thousands of visits a year of these large,mammals, (aka pet dogs) are, in fact, a damaging intrusion by an Invasive Species!! The cumulative affect of all their defacations, urinations and chasing off of the native birds and other native marine mammals and creatures hardly seems to be promoting good responsible stewardship of the beach. A better location for people who have chosen to have pets without adequate space for them would be a place elsewhere in a less sensitive environment.
Respectfully,
Susan and Fred
