Please read below prior to submitting your reservation request form:

• Beach reservations must be requested by a current card-holding member ten (10) days or more prior to the requested reservation date. Reservation invoices must be paid within ten (10) days of the date of invoice (due date) or the reservation will be removed from the calendar.

• If a reservation needs to be rescheduled, please contact the Registrar at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled reservation. If contact is not made within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the event, rescheduling may not be possible. No refunds or credits are issued.

• Beach reservations require a $75 rental fee plus a $25 trash removal fee for a total of $100. Reservations may not be made on holidays or holiday weekends. Please note that County recycling services are not available at our private beach properties. Removal of recyclables is highly encouraged so that they may be properly recycled curbside at your home.

• A $50 cleaning fee may be assessed and invoiced to the reservation sponsor for failure to comply with beach clean up and trash management responsibilities.

• A beach reservation does not entitle you to a specific area of the beach. If available, you will be allowed at least one grill and up to 2 picnic tables. Beach areas are first come, first served for tables and grills.

• You may not reserve a space prior to gate opening on the day of your event. We merely ensure that there are no other large parties scheduled on the same beach for the same period that combined, would exceed 50 persons or 10 cars. 

• Beaches close at 9pm Sunday thru Thursday, and 11pm on Friday and Saturday. All parties must be cleaned up at least one (1) hour before closing.

• Card-carrying residents ALWAYS have the right to use the beaches before guests. Please work with each other if you have a non-calendar beach event with appropriately covered guests under your beach cards, and run into beach reservations. The reservation events are a revenue source to help us maintain our properties and a great amenity offered to qualifying residents.
