Water Wise: Essential Safety Tips for Your Visit

While the beach can be a lot of fun, it’s essential to stay safe. There are no lifeguards on duty, so if you plan to enter the water, make sure you’re aware of the conditions, particularly on windy days when waves can be stronger. Rip currents can be a concern, and the water remains cold, even in late summer. For safety, always keep a close eye on children, and check the weather beforehand and, if possible, go with a buddy.

Keep It Wild, Keep It Clean

The sand dunes are fragile, so please stay on marked paths and avoid driving on them. The Forest Service wants to keep the dunes safe, so no motor vehicles or off-road vehicles are allowed. And don’t forget, pets need to be on a leash to protect the natural space. Your cooperation helps preserve the beauty of this spot for future generations. Tread lightly, respect the environment, and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Sand Dunes Beach safely!​
