NOTE:
There is considerable confusion about "Seascape Beach."
Seascape Resort does not allow dogs in any of its accommodations. Their property does not extend onto the sand, so the beach seaward of the Resort is County property, under County leash laws.
Seascape Village is a gated private community that allows dogs on its property, which does not extend onto the sand.
The adjoining Dolphin and Sumner beach to the west of Seascape Village is a county beach on which dogs must be on leash.
Seascape Park to the east of Seascape Resort is a County Park that does not allow dogs off leash in the park or on the beach.
If dogs are off-leash on Seascape beaches, their owners are violating County leash laws.
