in Bermuda Beach contribute to the upkeep of this public beach

The dune vegetation is a critical element in keeping the beach

with the police.

(a) Except in areas designated for the purpose, it shall be unlawful
for any person to ride, lead or drive any horse, mule, jackass,
donkey or pony upon any public beach within the-city between
the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., on Memorial Day, the Fourth

Trash
Please use the trash barrels furnished by the Parks Board. Blowing
trash causes an environmental hazard to marine life and no one
likes to have to pick up after someone else. When walking, pick
up plastic and other miscellaneous debris that washes up in the
tide. It's good exercise to bend and pickup and is the first
line of defense in keeping Texas beaches clean and healthy for
all!
Residents
& Guests should use the roads or walkways to access the beach.
This is a
residential community that happens to be located on the coast.
In the City you wouldn't think of crossing through someones front
or backyard to get where you are going. The same "code of
conduct" that you use in your neighborhood at home applies
to Bermuda Beach. Respect for private property is appreciated.
