Sunset Beach | Beach Rules
1. Please keep off the dunes - they are turtle nesting grounds and protect the Island during storms.
2. Fireworks and laser pointers are not permitted.
3. Please do not litter. Trash receptacles are conveniently located for your use.
4. Use only plastic containers or cans on the beach. For your safety, glass containers are not permitted. No glass allowed.
5. For everyone's safety, do not launch or recover motorized watercraft from the beach.
6. Surfing is not permitted from 5th Street to 32nd Street.
7. Please do not block the public accesses to the beach. Emergency vehicles must be able to access the strand.
8. Because we are a turtle sanctuary, all personal property must be removed from the beach strand at dark and not returned until sunrise each day so that turtles can come ashore unobstructed. This also ensures safe walking on our beautiful shore at night.
9. Bonfires, charcoal and gas grills are not allowed on the beach or within ten (10) feet of a residence as they may cause fires.
10. All vehicular traffic is prohibited from the beach strand. Non-motorized bikes are allowed.
11. Sleeping or camping on the beach strand after dark is not allowed.
12. If you dig holes in the sand, please refill the sand to prevent visitors from being hurt and to ensure that turtles may come ashore without danger of falling in the hole.
13. No cabanas/canopies/tents or recreational items are allowed between 3rd through 29th Streets nor should be placed in the emergency vehicle access line from the trash can posts to the dune line or public beach walkways. Cabanas/canopies/ tents shall be erected in a single line in the back row, parallel to the ocean between the trashcan poles, and no larger that 12' x 12' in overall footprint.
14. Wind-driven shading devices with two points of contact, anchored with tie-downs, can be placed anywhere on the beach strand, forward the emergency access except between 3rd and 29th Streets.
15. No device of any kind providing shade or cover should be erected prior to 7:00 AM and should be removed by 7:00 PM.
The Town of Sunset Beach has instituted these rules (ordinances) primarily to protect the environment and to add to your enjoyment and safety while you are visiting. The beach is patrolled during the day, but it is not guarded. Please exercise good judgment when swimming in the ocean. Welcome to Sunset Beach, have a great visit, and please, leave only your footprints in the sand! 👣👣👣
