The Marina at Marina Shores is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and enjoyable marina environment for all members of the marina community, our visitors and guests. We are proud to have a beautiful facility that provides clean, green and safe places to recreate and bring the boating communities together.
The responsibility falls on all of us to create a welcoming marina environment. This means taking measures designed to prevent someone from being hurt or feeling threatened. Therefore, we request that you comply with the marina policy that requires your dog to be on a leash at all times while on marina property, including individual docks.
This policy is based on Virginia Beach City Code (Ord. No. 3072, 3-24-09; Ord. No. 3223, 3-13-12) that states, in part:
Only you know if your dog is dangerous or not, and many people have very real fears about dogs. Children and elders especially cannot protect themselves from unwelcome advances. It is important that all members of the Marina Shores community, our visitors and guests feel safe while on marina property and that includes knowing that dogs are restrained.
This letter serves as an official written warning. Persons found to be in further violation of this policy, will receive one additional warning. Further violations by members of the marina will result in a $20.00 citation; further violations by non-marina members will result in the violator(s) being considered as trespassing on marina property.
If you have any questions regarding this notification, please contact the Marina Administration Office at (757) 496-7000.
