Share the Shore

Do you love spending time on the beach?  Birds like Snowy Plovers and Least Terns can be found on our coast this summer, nesting and resting on our beaches.  
 
While the Western Snowy Plover is making a comeback, it is still listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act because of the many challenges its small population faces. 

Whether you love the beach for sunbathing, walking your dog, fishing, kayaking or boating, the shores of California, Oregon, and Washington are managed by many different agencies and each beach has different rules and regulations. Please follow the rules posted when visiting these beaches. Thank you for respecting your local beaches and the habitats and species who call the coast their home.
