Please note: Waterfront areas are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise authorized by Â鶹´«Ã½ Facilities Management. Additionally, there is no fishing permitted from the pier or boardwalk.
CAUTION: Please understand that the water around the pier and boardwalk is shallow. At low tide there may only be one (1) foot of water and at high tide only three (3) feet of water. Absolutely no jumping or diving into the water from the pier or boardwalk is permitted.
Â鶹´«Ã½ Guest Policy
Use of the Waterfront venues is limited to Â鶹´«Ã½ students, faculty, staff, and their guests. Only these individuals are considered to have permission to use the Waterfront venues. If you bring a guest with you, please understand that you are responsible for their actions. Several notices are posted along the Waterfront for your safety, and it is your responsibility to take note of them and act accordingly.
Non-Â鶹´«Ã½ Organizations or Groups
If you are a non-Â鶹´«Ã½ organization or group that would like to hold an event at the Â鶹´«Ã½ waterfront, you must request permission to do so. The Director of Facilities Management is the approver of requests from non-University groups or organizations for the use of Educational and General (E&G) facilities and grounds. Requests for use of Auxiliary facilities and grounds (e.g., Webb University Center, Athletics, Ted Constant Convocation Center) by non-University organizations or groups are handled by the respective Auxiliary organization.
