Tonight I stopped by the beach and someone had left the waterhose near the boat round about turned on full blast. It had been on for quite some time as the ground and gravel were soaked. Please be sure when you use it to turn it off and if you are there with children, please check it when you leave to be sure they didn't turn it on and leave it running.
This could have severly minimized or depleted our water supply and we would not have water. Please be sure whenever you leave the beach to check the water and make sure all sources are turned off.
It is up to all of us to protect our community resources.
Thank you for increasing your awareness and helping to protect our beach and water.

Be Kind To Your Neighbors
One of Shorehill's great treasures is the beach. Community members and their guests are welcome to use the beach — just clean up after yourself so that others don't have to clean up after you.
No, there are no trash cans at the beach. That's because when trash cans were available, people would use them to overflowing and no one would empty them. The community does not pay for trash pick-up at the beach. So, it is your responsibility to clean up after yourself and your guests so that the beach is a pleasant place for everyone.
Thank you all for being respectful of your community by adhering to these guidelines.
- If you are smoking at the beach, bring an ashtray and take your butts and ashes with you.
- Clean up the bathroom if you use it.
- Take away any trash and litter.
- Clean up after your pets.
