STONE HARBOR –– As the borough’s north end beach becomes dog friendly, dogs were prohibited on the southern end.

Council at its meeting June 17 finalized legislation to allow dogs on the north end between 80th and 82nd streets before 9 a.m. and after 7 p.m. while also forbidding any domesticated animals at Stone Harbor Point.

The time to allow dogs on the beach in the evening was changed from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. per suggestion of resident Robert Levins and after much public comment about the beach being busy during dinner hours.
