Dogs at the Beach: Welcome Back!

We're happy to share that dogs are welcome at the Westport Town Beaches! Bring your four-legged friends to enjoy the sand and surf - just remember a few important things:

Scoop the poop. Help keep our beaches beautiful and safe for everyone by cleaning up after your pup.

Use the outdoor toters. Please toss waste bags into the large outdoor trash toters provided. Bathroom trash cans are not for pet waste

Be considerate. Keep dogs under control and respectful of other beachgoers.

Let's work together to keep our beaches clean, fun, and welcoming for both people and pups
