Rules

* Dogs allowed on leash * There is no entrance fee, but the entrance is gated and is open only from 8 AM to 9:30 PM. * So, if you are arriving by car, a really early morning hike is not an option. * Similarly, if you are hiking late in the evening be sure to have your car out of the park by 9:30 PM. * For field trips, school groups, and large groups of 15 people or more that don't need a picnic shelter, fill out a Plan a Future Visit to Seahurst Park form to ensure a more efficient visit. * Be extra careful where you step so you don't step on animals or their homes. * When you want to look more closely at a creature, bend over and look rather than picking it up. Leave animals where you find them. Don't move them to a new home! * Touch plants and animals gently with one wet finger. Animals living on the beach and in the water are cold and wet, your fingers are warm and dry. Simply touching a plant or animal may be enough to injure or kill it. * If you want to look under a rock, be gentle. Turning over a rock can be like someone turning on a bright light in your bedroom in the middle of the night. Lift it slowly and gently. When you're done the rock needs to be gently returned to its original position. * Leave all shells and animals on the beach rather than taking them home. Shells and rocks need to be left on the beach because they provide a home for the next generation, an animal's children, to live on.
