Rules, as cited

Leash rule: Washington State Parks says you may let pets off leash on the beach if you have good control of them. Other local pet ordinances may apply. Do not let pets harass wildlife or other visitors, and stay out of wildlife-protection closures.

• The North Beach Area of the Seashore Conservation Area is a 22-mile stretch from Damon Point in Ocean Shores to the Quinault Indian Nation, north of Moclips. Official access points include the North Jetty, Taurus, Ocean Lake Way, Pacific, Chance A La Mer, Oyhut (Damon), Ocean City Ocean Beach Access, Roosevelt, Analyde Gap and Moclips.
• State Parks' SCA rules say you may let pets off leash on the beach if you have good control of them, must pick up after animals, and must not let pets harass wildlife or other visitors. Other local pet ordinances may apply.
• Stay out of wildlife-protection closures, including Western Snowy Plover nesting closures that may run March 15–September 30. Remain at least 100 yards from seals and sea lions.
• Rules on adjacent state park land (including Ocean City, Griffiths-Priday and Pacific Beach State Parks) or in the City of Ocean Shores may differ. Confirm posted signs. Do not assume these rules apply on tribal lands north of Moclips.
