Did you know pets like dogs, cats and horses are prohibited on the beach and pier in Glynn County from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day? Officials are trying to get the word out.
The ordinance restricting pets during one of the busiest times of year for the area has been around for years, but Glynn County Communications Director Katie Baasen said it’s hardly acknowledged now, which is causing some public safety concerns.
Baasen said violators could receive a fine from the county, but she didn’t specify how much, and she said it’s unlikely violators will be fined for the time being. Jimmy Braswell, who drove to St. Simons Island from Frankfurt, Kentucky, to visit family with his dog Lucy said he wasn’t aware of the ordinance.“Well, I feel like as long as you keep your dogs under control that you should be able to bring them,” he said. “We’re going to bring her wherever we can when we can.”
Baasen said over the past few years new residents moved into the area and the county’s focus right now is to get the message out about the ordinance to make sure everyone is aware of it.
