  Vehicle
traffic on beach trails is strictly regulated. The public is not allowed
to operate vehicles on the trails without express written permission.
This policy has been adopted to minimize any adverse impact to natural
systems. Pedestrian traffic is regulated to a lessor degree. Hikers
may leave established vehicle trail IF they observe certain restrictions
designed to protect fragile resources.Pedestrians MUST avoid walking on the primary dune (nearest the water), and any steeply banked dunes devoid of vegetation. Any erosion from foot traffic is exacerbated by high winds which are prevalent during intermittent summer storms and throughout the winter months. Small gaps in vegetation caused by foot traffic results in the erasure of adjacent dune during the winter. In addition, American beach grass (planted to add a measure of stability to the shifting sands) is easily damaged by foot traffic. Be conscientious and bring out what you brought in. Leaving all beaches in their natural state will insure their availability for future generations. There are no additional restrictions on pedestrian access during the fall and winter months. Indeed, these seasons represents some of the most rewarding opportunities in terms of scenic beauty, environmental quality, and wildlife activities. However, hikers must bear in mind that hunting is allowed on several Cape beaches in conjunction with state law and local restrictions. In the interest of public safety, it is recommended that hikers wear orange and/or other highly visible clothing and keep to open trails during the hunting season. |
