WESTPORT, CT — Town officials are reminding residents this week dogs will be allowed at Compo Beach from Oct. 1 until March 31. In a news release, Parks & Recreation Director Jennifer Fava noted the following regulations will still be in effect for Compo Beach: Dogs are prohibited from the pavilion, playground and walkways. All dogs must be leashed in all areas of the park except in the designated off leash area of the beach south of the pavilion, including South Beach. Off-leash regulations are posted at the entrance to the off-leash area. Guests are required by law to pick up their dog's feces. Violation of the above regulations could result in a $77 fine. "We hope everyone will follow these regulations," Fava said in a news release, "and be respectful of other dogs and beach users. We appreciate your cooperation."
