Let your pet enjoy the beach vacation, too! While enjoying the vacation with your pet, there are some guidelines to help you. The leash law on Hatteras Island requires all pets to be on leashes and that leashes not exceed six (6) feet in length. There is a mandatory removal of feces law through out the Outer Banks area. Also, please remember to keep your pet hydrated and provide an area of shade at all times while at the beach, and never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle.

National Park Service Beach Guidelines for Pets

Dogs, cats, or other pets are prohibited throughout the park unless crated, caged, on a six-foot leash, or otherwise under physical re¬straint. Pets are prohibited on designated swim¬ming beaches. Pets running at large will be apprehended and returned to their owner, if known and located, or deliv¬ered to the local animal shelter for disposal in accordance with local proce¬dures. Tickets/fines are issued to pet owners who do not follow the leash law. Guide dogs for the visually impaired are permitted to remain with their owners at all times.

Outer Beaches Pet Policies

A $75 Pet Fee is charged for each pet. This fee is used for additional cleaning required and pest extermination. If you are renting a pet cottage, your lease will automatically reflect a charge for one pet. If you are not bringing a pet, you may deduct this amount. If you have been given permission to bring more than one pet, your lease will show a charge of $75 per pet.

There is a "leash law" on the beach, so be sure to keep your pet on a leash. Also, be sure to clean up any mess your pet may leave around your cottage. The only kennel on the Island is Hatteras Island Pet Resort, with locations in both Frisco and Rodanthe. If you own a pet, you must select a pet cottage, make arrangements with a kennel or leave your pet at home. ANY PET FOUND IN OR AROUND A NON-PET COTTAGE IS GROUNDS FOR EXPEDITED EVICTION, FORFEITURE OF ALL MONIES PAID AND/OR A NON-DECLARED PET FEE OF $150 AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF OBR.

Under no circumstances are pets allowed in pools or hot tubs. Breach of this rule is considered a serious violation of your lease and may result in expedited eviction. Please note: the Accidental Damage Program included in your rent does not cover damage by pets. Tenants will be liable for any damages caused by pets.
