We love our dogs and we love our beach!

As pet owners, we want to enjoy walks on the beach with our best friends all year long. Due to the town regulations, they are not allowed on the beach at all from April 1 - September 30. Wrightsville Beach is one of the only beaches on the east coast with a complete ban on dogs in the summer months, and it is unfair to both residents and vacation visitors to prohibit being able to walk dogs on leashes on the beach.

So what can we do?

Our goal is to amend the Wrightsville Beach ordinances to allow leashed dogs on the beach April 1 - September 30, before 9AM and after 6PM.

This will achieve the goal from 2020 Parks and Recreation Master Plan to revise the ordinance in order to allow dogs on the beach.

So what can YOU do?

Calling on Wrightsville Beach registered voters! The town requires signed petitions from registered voters in order to amend the ordinance. The petition is posted below - print it off, sign it, and mail or deliver it to the address listed.
