Is your dog a beach bum?
Fall is a happy time for many of our furry friends! Beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 1, dogs are permitted off leash on Compo Beach in Westport. They can enjoy beach privileges until March 31, 2017.
Compo Beach asks owners to bea aware of off leash rules:
- Dogs are permitted off leash in the area of the beach south of the brick bathhouses delineated by a rail fence and signs and including the south beach area.
- Owners or handlers must accompany their dogs at all times within the off-leash area
- Owners or handlers must have a leash or lead at all times within the off-leash area.
Dogs, where permitted, must be kept on leash or lead under the control of the owner or handler, except in areas designated as off-leash area. On leash areas include all parking lots, roadways and grass areas.
No dogs permitted
Animals are not permitted in the covered pavilion area of Compo Beach, on the boardwalks or in the area between the boardwalks and the exit road (including playground and volleyball courts) at any time.
Sherwood Island allows dogs to enjoy the beach from October 1 through April 14, 2017.
