Nags Head: Dogs are permitted on the beach year-round as long as they are restrained by a leash no longer than 10 feet. Although they are permitted all year, please remember that if the sand is too hot for your feet, it's definitely too hot for your dog's feet!
Kill Devil Hills: Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, dogs are not allowed on the beaches in Kill Devil Hills from the hours of 9am until 6pm, unless the dog is assisting an individual or is a service animal. During the off-season, dogs are allowed on the beach but must always remain on a leash.
Kitty Hawk: You and your pooch can spend time together on Kitty Hawk beaches year-round, but there are time restrictions! From the Friday before Memorial Day to the day after Labor Day between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm, all dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet. When in public areas, dogs should be on leashes retractable to 12 feet or less.
Corolla: In Corolla, dogs are allowed on the beaches year-round, so they can roll and play in the sand to their heart's content. While there is no leash-length requirement in Corolla, dogs must be leashed at all times year-round.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore: Dogs are allowed on the beach year-round if they are restrained on a 6 ft. leash. Pets are prohibited on designated swimming beaches. Guide dogs for the visually impaired are permitted to remain with their owners at all times.
We encourage you to also be courteous and respect the safety and property of other dogs and humans by picking up after your pet - pet waste is not to be buried in the sand or put in the ocean. Also, we ask that you maintain control of your pet at all times.
