Emma's Back Pack and Beach Information

Kids love digging and building in the sand, it's a must for a beach visit.

There is a huge variety of toys on the market made specifically for water play. Nerf balls and lightweight canvas Frisbee discs are great because they float and often come in neon colors so they can be seen easily.

 Don't forget the standard shovels and pails, sand diggers, and sand sifters -- great for building sand castles, sifting for shells and rocks, and pouring water into makeshift moats.

Most public beaches do not allow items such as floating rafts, noodles, or "arm floaties" as they are not Coast Guard approved swim or safety wear. Check with your beach lifeguards or town officials to see what they will or will not allow.

Don't forget your camera! You can purchase waterproof disposable cameras to capture all of those sunny moments. Inexpensive disposable cameras are even available for underwater use

 

Dogs are allowed on the beach, as long as they are on a leash or under voice control.

Most but not all State Parks allow dogs on their trails.  Ecola State Park and Oswald West State Park do allow dogs on their trails but they must be kept on a leash (maximum 6 feet long) or in a vehicle or tent.  The pet must be under physical control at all times.

Bring Bags!  You must clean up after your dog, and dispose of wastes into the garbage.

You are responsible for your pet's  behavior.  Barking dogs (or other noisy animals) can wreak havoc on a peaceful trail.  Please do not leave your pet unattended.

Pets must be properly licensed and inoculated.  An identification tag is a good idea.  The tag should include a number where somebody can be reached when you are away from home.
