Sand boarding care code

Look after fragile beach and sand dune systems:

  • Do not disturb birds. They may be feeding or nesting.
  • Migratory shore-birds rely on maximum time for feeding per day to ensure good weight for migration. Nesting birds with chicks will not let chicks eat when humans are present - chicks will starve if people are present all day.
  • Known animal breeding sites should be avoided during the critical times of the year.
  • Roosting and feeding areas should be avoided where possible.
