Rules, as cited

Leash rule: The SCA page allows off-leash dogs if you have good control of them, but says local ordinances may also apply. Some individual park pages say “dogs allowed on leash.” Follow the signs at the access you use.

• The official SCA page says you may let pets off leash on the beach if you have good control of them. Pick up after them and do not let them harass wildlife or other visitors.
• Other local pet ordinances may also apply. Follow posted signs, including any tighter leash rule at a particular state park or access.
• Stay out of areas marked closed for wildlife. Many areas are closed 15 March–30 September during western snowy plover nesting season. People and pets should remain at least 100 yards from seals and sea lions.
• Camping is not permitted on the beach. Fireworks are prohibited on state park lands and on SCA ocean beaches in front of a state park.
• The official SCA page names this as a beach access in the North Beach Area (Ocean Shores to Moclips).
