The following is posted in the hopes visitors will act responsibly while visiting the Outer Banks this year. Please be sure you're not a "touron" as defined by any of the following:

1). When you see only one fisherman on an empty beach, don't set up shop next to him so kids can run into his lines over and over.

2). When you see small children crabbing in a small spot don't allow your kids to push them aside or into the water.

3). When you allow your underage children to have alcoholic beverages on the beach. Make sure you or they clean up before they stagger back.

4). When you light a bonfire (where permitted) be sure its below the high tide wet line, and put it out before you leave.

5). When you illegally use fireworks stay away from houses and shoot the stuff out over the ocean.

6). When you go to the beach use a public beach access. Don't take shortcuts thru others property, even if you think residents are renters. They have paid for the location - let em do so in peace, let alone the danger of driveway traffic when no one is expected to be there.

7). When you must have a radio on the beach or at your cottage be sure only you hear it.

8). When you must bring your dog down to the beach to defecate, "for pete's sake" bag it!! This has truly become more and more of a health issue.

10). When you must bring your dog to the beach remember the leash laws do apply to you too.

11). When you leave the beach always be able to say it's in better shape than when you came.

12). When you see garbage, don't be too proud to pick it up and deposit it in the garbage can back at your rental.

13). When you're walking or bike riding do so singly - not 2 or more abreast. Be aware of traffic.

14). When you're driving, stay on or under the limit, and do not cross over the solid lines on the right of the road.

15). When on the "bypass" don't suddenly pull into or out of driveways. Use your signal and use it early.

16). When it gets dark, turn off all the outside lites so the stars can be enjoyed.

17). When you're out w/ kids esp. soundside watch for snakes. Don't try to differentiate btw poisonous and not.

18). When you're out shopping be polite, even if its not your norm.

19). Don't park where signs indicate "no parking" and even if not posted ask yourself "am I parking in a way that could endanger someone.

20). Don't use dunes as a lavatory, no matter how far it is back to your lodging.

In a nut shell, act responsibly, treat everyone as you'd like to be treated.

See you at the beach!!
