Installing a PERMANENT Buoy and/or Anchor for your boat or water toys is NOT permitted at Newgate Sandy Shores. This includes:

• the bay north of Steamboat
• all beach areas in front of Steamboat, Goldrush, Prospect, and Whitesands
• the weekly areas in front of Whitesands and the Boat Launch
• the Day Use area lagoon, dunes, beaches, and Linklater

This means it is NOT ok to:

• install a buoy which floats all summer whether it is in use or not
• leave your boat floating during times when YOU the OWNER & OPERATOR are not present to use it
• stake a claim on a specific spot

PERMANENT Buoys will be REMOVED! Continued violation will result in eviction.

SWIMMING Areas will be respected and prioritized in the prime beach areas. No anchoring! 

What you CAN do:

Boats and water toys are ALLOWED to be TEMPORARILY anchored in the water and may be subject to designated areas depending on water level and usage. This means it IS ok to:

• Drop a TEMPORARY anchor from the front bow.
• Tie a back line from the stern to the shore using a TEMPORARY anchor pin in the sand. Flag or mark the pin for safety and visibility of people using the beach.
• TEMPORARILY anchor your boat or toy in a “lower use” location – NOT on a prime beach spot!
• Use your TEMPORARY anchor spot while YOU the OWNER and OPERATOR are ONSITE.
• Remove your items when you leave and return your Boat/Toys to the STORAGE yard assigned site.
• You might need to move locations throughout the summer as the water levels and debris fluctuate. 
• Practice common sense and courtesy: Anchor in less desirable locations. SAFELY and SLOWLY come in to pick up and drop off your people at the beaches. Then go park.
• Rent a slip at Sunshine Houseboats & Marina.

BEACH: NO DRIVING ON ANY BEACH AT ANY TIME! Be courteous! The amount of beach space is dependent on the water level. Don’t sprawl! Think about using a space about the size of 10×10 for your crew. Clean up and return items to your campsite at the end of the day. Leave room for others to enjoy. Permanent boat anchoring is not allowed. Keep beach “sprall” to a minimum – NO structures and no items left on beach overnight.

PARKING: Parking your vehicles for the day while you are at the beach is not permitted anywhere in Steamboat, Goldrush, Homestead, Prospect, and Whitesands unless you are a Member with a site in those areas. Members must park at their own site. Temporary Drop off and Pick up only, return your vehicle to your site, or park in the DAY USE parking lot area.

PARKING ONSITE: Parking is limited to ONE vehicle per site included with your membership. 2nd Vehicle Parking Passes are limited and must be purchased and recorded at the Reg Office.
