Keeping pets leashed isn’t just about safety—it helps protect wildlife, preserve natural habitats, and ensures everyone can enjoy the coast responsibly. Even well-trained pets can behave unpredictably when off-leash. Be a “pawsitive” role model and explore with care.
Wag Responsibly—Leash for Every Landscape!
Dogs should be leashed at all times. Leashing your pet prevents them from tangling with wild animals or other visitors' pets, becoming lost, ransacking campground garbage, damaging plant life, being hit by a car, or falling from a cliff. Dogs on leash protect sensitive habitat and wildlife. The presence or scent of dogs in a natural habitat may force wild animals to leave their homes and separate parent-child pairs, both temporarily and permanently. Keeping your dog on a leash also avoids an expensive citation!
Leashing is more than a rule—it's a simple act of stewardship that helps everyone enjoy the outdoors safely. Even the most well-behaved dog can act unpredictably in new environments filled with unfamiliar sights, smells, and sounds. A leash ensures your furry friend stays close while you both enjoy nature responsibly. Plus, it's a great way to model good behavior for other visitors and show that you care about preserving this diverse coastal eco-system for all—wildlife and humans alike.
