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 South Beach Area of the Seashore Conservation Area spans 18 miles from Willapa Bay in Tokeland to Point Chehalis in Westport. Official access points include Grayland Beach, Warrenton Cannery, Bonge Avenue, County Line and Twin Harbors Gap Road.
• 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 (for example Westport Light, Twin Harbors or Grayland Beach State Park) may differ from the SCA intertidal area. Confirm posted signs.
