Parks and Places to Walk Your Pet
 

    Walking and running with a dog is a popular pastime along the coast. Dog owners need to be aware there is a leash law in towns and on beaches, including the beaches of Cape Lookout National Seashore. Please beware that most beaches and incorporated town areas also require you to clean up after your pets. Even if it is not the law, dog owners should make it their responsibility to clean up after their pets.

The Beaufort historic district and waterfront are popular walking and running spots for dog lovers, and special poop scoop bags are provided at a few spots along the Beaufort waterfront. The Morehead City waterfront and downtown areas are also great places to walk and run with your four-legged friend.TN 07-23-08
