Beach Etiquette

To keep our beach areas beautiful and safe, please:

• Drive Slowly - Children and Adults are at play.
• No dogs on the beach. When walking your dog on the roads, have a leash and PLEASE "stoop and scoop".
• Keep the area beautiful. Please don't litter, especially on the beach.
• Put all garbage for pickup in wood or metal containers to keep critters from making a mess and becoming a nuisance.
• Operate personal watercraft responsibly at least 500 feet from shore. Slow down (no wake) as you approach shore. Be cautious of swimmers and keep a safe distance from non-motorized watercraft.
• Keep the noise to a minimum. Respect your neighbour's right to peace and quiet at the cottage and the beach. . Saugeen First Nation’s by-law states no noise after 11pm.
• Refrain from using alcohol on the beach.
• Bonfires are not permitted on the beach - except with a permit that can be obtained from the Saugeeen administration office.
• Respect our wildlife and wildflowers. Please don't pick wildflowers.
• Get to know your neighbors. It's nice to have someone to look out for your property, help you when you're in need and have a drink with.
• If using fireworks, always clean up debris. No fireworks permitted after 11 pm
• Always keep a close eye on children in the water and never swim alone, regardless of age. Lake Huron can develop a strong undertow on windy days.
