Can I bring my dog to the beach?
Yes, however, dog owners must always keep their dogs under control, clean up after their pet and keep dogs out of protected nesting areas; there are also seasonal rules as to where and when dogs are permitted on the beach. Dog owners should also be sure to read the signage at each beach entrance before traversing the beach with their dog as well as the East Hampton Town Code Chapter 91 Sections 4L (1) through (5) and the East Hampton Village code chapter 77 sections 4N(1) and (2).
