Do not leave anything on the beach overnight. I can't guarantee you that your things will be taken (not stolen), but there is a chance. It is against some law or code and there are people who patrol the beach looking for things.
Dogs are allowed on the beach on a leash. If you go to the beach in the morning or evening, you will certainly see people with their dogs off-leash. If you want to have your dog off-leash, that is up to you...you know your dogs. But don't tell anyone I said you could (smiley emoji).
You cannot have your dogs on the beach at the State Park. You can have them on-leash on the paths in the park. I would not break the rules (at least that one) in the state park, but that's up to you.
Fires are allowed on the beach (not in The Plantation). The fires are supposed to be below the high tide line. It's fun to have one, but it takes some effort. If you have a fire, please make sure that the fire is OUT (dead) when you leave. These people will set up a fire for you...it does seems a little pricey, though. Don't tell them I said that.
