No animals are allowed on the beach, other than service dogs accompanying a person with special needs.
The city's open-container ban covers public buildings, parking lots and parks, but specifically exempts the public beach, so drinking is allowed on the sand. Glass containers are still banned separately.
Open fires, grills and other incendiary devices are banned beach-wide, except in specific areas the city designates and posts for stove or grill use.
Glass bottles or containers of any kind may not be possessed or used on the beach or beach access areas.
Fishing from the beach, including gathering bait fish, is a permitted activity.
