There is no sign prohibiting anythng; there was a State sign telling beach rules, but it was knocked down by winter seas a few years ago. There are also people camping on the beach in the summer, and no sign prohibiting it. I've called State Police a dozen times over the past ten years, and they have gotten rid of the most obnoxious ones.
