It's More Than Trash Visitors impact the park in ways other than just the creation of trash. Most of these impacts can be avoided or at least lessened if visitors follow a few simple guidelines. Dunes are an important part of our coastline. They also play a valuable role in reducing damage done by coastal storms. As rugged and resilient as dunes are they can be easily damaged by foot traffic.
Visitors can protect dunes and dune vegetation by remaining on trails and beach access paths.
Pets are required to be leashed, licensed and under control at all times to reduce the potential of adverse interactions with other visitors, other pets and park wildlife. Please clean up after your pets. Food left out at campsites, especially at night will attract wildlife and cause them to associate humans with food. Feeding wildlife is prohibited. Wild animals that associate food with humans can be a danger to visitors.
