JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 All-day beach access for dogs has returned for the month of October at Jax Beach, removing previous time-of-day restrictions. Pet owners are required to follow regulations under City Ordinance 5-41, which carries a $55 fine for violations.<\/p>\n
Under the regulations, dogs must remain on a leash eight feet or shorter while on the beach at all times. Pet owners must also have proof of a valid rabies vaccination and are required to pick up and dispose of all pet waste.<\/p>\n
Dogs are prohibited in the dunes at all times.<\/p>\n
Dogs are permitted to swim off-leash in the Atlantic Ocean as long as they stay within their owner\u2019s voice and visual control. <\/p>\n
Pet owners must leash their dogs immediately upon exiting the water and before returning to the beach area. The off-leash allowance applies only to swimming and does not permit walking dogs in the water or playing fetch.<\/p>\n
