• Fires:

• Any fires outside of the fire ring will require a burn permit  

• County Code does not permit fires outside of a fire ring in JULY and AUGUST

• Be mindful of wind direction and speed so that smoke does not blow in shore towards resident homes

• All fires must be extinguished before you leave, a fire bucket is located inside the shed

Beach Access

Boats/watercraft that intend to use beach access will enter the area at their own risk and bear the cost of any damage regarding either property damage or personal injury.  The TPHOA will not be held responsible.  By launching or utilizing any watercraft/boats through the Community Access, the Homeowner warrants their own insurance for coverage of themselves, their guests, and their watercraft/boat.

• Safety First.  Warn any parties on the beach of your plans to launch and ensure clearance

• Only boats & watercraft 16 feet and under are permitted to launch

• Trailers and cars should be returned to the left side of the road after launching

• Cars and trailers are temporarily permitted to park to the left side of the wooded area of the beach access road if the resident is boating between September 30th  and April 30th

• Boat launchers should use the rake located inside the shed to smooth out any divots in the sand caused by their cars/trailers 

Moorings 

• Moorings are permitted and should be clearly identified with a flotation device

• Floats should have the name and phone number of the owner in permanent marker

• For safety, moorings must be removed  by December 1st because ice and winter storms can disrupt the mooring causing a hazard to navigation

• No moorings should be placed in front of the beach area; and should be placed equivalent or further out than the distance of the neighboring dock.  Please set your mooring to the left or right sides of the beach area

Kayaks

• Homeowner use of the kayak rack will automatically assume and acknowledge that the TPHOA will not assume liability or risk and that the TPHOA will be “Held Harmless” regarding the storage and use of watercraft.

• All kayaks must be removed from the kayak rack by Thanksgiving

• Kayak rack is not for winter storage
