Tents and beach equipment on the Beach – Town of Duck 2-15-2024

Dear SPOA Members,

The following is from Sandy Cross, Senior Planner of the Town of Duck:

Dear Homeowner Association Contact,

Good morning!  We are getting an early jump on our notifications related to tents and beach equipment on the beach following some changes that were made to our Ordinance this winter.

Attached you will find copies of letters similar to those that you have received in the past three years that we have sent to property management companies and beach equipment vendors identifying notable regulations, and in this letter, changes compared to last year.  We would ask that you pass this information on to your owners as well.

Rental Property Management Company Letter 2024-02-15

Equipment Rental Company Letter 2023-02-15

It is extremely important to note that tents may not be any larger than 12×12 and no guy lines may extend beyond the framing of the tent.  See examples below of permitted vs not permitted.

Additionally, tents may not be set up within 50’ of a lifeguard stand or a community accessway.  While this tent below meets the size criteria, it’s location in relation to a beach access is not permitted.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions related to the attached documents.
