The legal speed limit within residential communities is 25 mph.  Please mind your speed while driving within Cameo     Community, especially as you enter and exit Cameo Highlands and Cameo Shores. If we don’t self-regulate speed in our     community, then Newport Beach Police will.

Cameo Beaches & Parks

Etiquette

When you use our beaches or parks for your enjoyment and pleasure, please remember that the trash you leave behind becomes a problem not only for our environmentally sensitive areas and water quality, but also for the visitors who follow you.

Our beaches and tide pools are part of the ASBS (Area of Special Biological Significance) and a protected Biological Marine Reserve.

It is important that we do our part to protect these resources and remove any trash that results from our use of these areas.

Cameo was assessed a $300 clean-up fee for trash that was left on Beach 3 over the 4th of July weekend.

Do your part; remove your trash and place it in the available receptacles. If those bins are full, please notify Villageway immediately by calling 949.450.1515.

Please Note:  FIRES ARE NOT allowed on beaches and have not been allowed by the city or fire department for the last several years.

Pet Owners

The City of Newport Beach requires that all pets be on a leash when out in public or on private property other than the owner's property.  We continue to receive numerous complaints about both unleashed dogs and excrement left on sidewalks and parking strips. Please pick up after your pets.   And be sure your kids know the rules.  The City can levy fines for violations of these rules.  That goes for "noise nuisance" as well. 

Newport Beach Municipal Code

7.04.020 Leash Required
    No person having the care, charge or control of any dog shall cause or allow, either willfully or through failure to exercise due care or control, such dog to be present upon any beach, street, alley, or public place, or upon any private property or premises other than his or her own without written consent of the owner or lessee of such land unless such dog is securely restrained by a substantial leash or chain not exceeding six feet in length and controlled by a person competent to restrain such dog. This section shall not be construed as allowing dogs on leashes in the areas from which dogs are prohibited as designated by Sections 7.04.025, 7.04.030, and 7.04.050. (Ord. 89-8 § 1, 1989: Ord. 1230 § 1, 1967: Ord. 796 (part), 1956: 1949 Code § 4107)
 

7.04.030 Animal Hours On Beaches

     Animals are not allowed on any ocean front beach or ocean front sidewalk between the hours 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. year-round. 

7.20.010 Noisy Animals.
    It is declared to be a nuisance for any person to keep, maintain or permit on any lot or parcel of land under his control or ownership, any animal of any type, including any fowl which by any frequent or long continued sound, noise or cry shall cause annoyance or discomfort to two or more reasonable persons of normal sensitivity who reside in separate residences (including apartments and/or condominiums).
    However, the Animal Control Officer or his or her agent may proceed on the basis of a complaint of only one person if circumstances are determined to exist where a noise disturbance caused by an animal affects only one individual. Any noise which is audible continuously for ten minutes or intermittently for thirty (30) minutes shall be prima facia evidence of such annoyance or discomfort.
    The factors which should be considered in determining whether a violation has been committed include, but are not limited to:

                    A. Pitch;
                    B. Pattern; and
                    C. Frequency of occurrence

                         (Ord. 2007-1 § 1, 2007: 1949 Code § 4118)

7.20.020 Nuisances Committed by Animals.
    A. It is unlawful for the owner or person having charge, custody or control of any animal to permit such animal to defecate and to allow the feces to thereafter remain on any public sidewalk, public beach or park or on any other public property or on any private property other than that of the owner or person who has custody or control of the animal.
    B. No person having the care, custody, charge or control of any animal shall permit or allow that animal on any public sidewalk, public beach or park or on any other public property, or on any private property other than that of the owner or person who has custody or control of the animal, unless that person has, in his or her possession, an implement or device capable of removing any feces deposited by the animal.
