During the Spring and Fall months (Before Memorial Day and after Labor Day weekend) dogs are invited to enjoy the public beaches and boardwalk area anytime. However, during the Summer months, (Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend) pets are limited to frolic on the north end of Virginia Beach above 42nd Street and the south end of Virginia Beach in the Sandbridge area before 10a.m. and after 6p.m. During the summer season, dogs are also allowed on the boardwalk from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. only. Fido must don a leash and human companions are required to clean-up after their furry friend. For the safety of all patrons on the beach, canine and human alike, please supervise your pet carefully when off leash and only unleash on the sand with reliable voice command and recall.
