Are dogs allowed on the beach during summer?

Dogs are allowed on the beach in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, but there are some restrictions during the summer months. From April 1st through September 30th, dogs are only allowed on the beach before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of all beachgoers, as the beach can be quite crowded during the summer months.

During the off-season, from October 1st through March 31st, dogs are allowed on the beach all day. However, even during the off-season, dogs must be on a leash and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.

It’s also worth noting that there are some sections of the beach that are reserved for swimming and other activities, where dogs are not allowed at any time. Be sure to check for signs and follow any posted regulations to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit to the beach with your furry friend.
