Laws and Regulations

Pets

Pets are never allowed on South Monomoy, North Monomoy, and Minimoy islands. These islands contain sensitive ecosystems, and provide critically important habitat for a huge variety of threatened shorebirds. 

On the Morris Island (mainland) trails, dogs are NOT permitted in the summer, from May 1st to September 15th, to protect nesting wildlife. Leashed dogs are allowed on the Morris Island trails in the off-season, which is from September 16th to April 30th. 

For alternate locations, we've compiled this list of locations and their corresponding dog policies for southeastern Cape Cod.
