Cape Cod National Seashore

FAQs

• Are dogs allowed at Cape Cod National Seashore?

  Yes, however, there are some regulations that must be followed. Your dog must be on a leash and under your control at all times. Public buildings, picnic areas, beaches with lifeguards, self-guiding trails, and shorebird nesting areas are all off limits to animals.

• Should I take any precautions when hiking?

  First off, you’ll want to stay on designated trails and keep away from tall grasses. Deer ticks and mosquitoes may carry diseases. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear appropriate clothes, which you should regularly inspect along with your skin. Keep an eye out for poison ivy.
