Welcome!
The homeowners and guests of Kiwanda Shores together create a community, one that changes not only with the seasons but with the presence and actions of each individual. We’ve agreed on basic rules that help maintain our sense of serenity and quality of experience:
- Park off the street in the driveway, garage, or parking area provided for each home. Parking in the street is prohibited, and it is a hazard for emergency vehicles, small children playing, bicyclists, and animals. If you plan a larger gathering and don’t have room, contact the Kiawanda Community Center at (503) 965‐7900 for overflow parking. Violators may be towed.
- Do not walk between houses or trespass on private property when walking to and from the beach or anywhere else in Kiwanda Shores. There are three designated community beach access walkways on Ocean Drive, all marked by signs. Don’t cut through other properties or walk on the newly planted dune grass. Take note of landmarks so that you can recognize where to return.
- Keep your dog(s) on leash. Dogs are allowed off‐leash within their own property under owner supervision only, as they can present a hazard to leashed dogs and passers‐by. Take a plastic bag with you on your walks to pick up after your dog. Bag dispensers are throughout the area.
- Open fires and fireworks are banned within Kiwanda Shores, whether on a private lot or in the common areas. This includes the elevated sand dune between and in front of the beachfront homes. The beach grass is extremely flammable, and fire can spread uncontrollably within minutes. If you wish to use fireworks, please do so on the lower beach only.
- Barking dogs, blaring music, and car alarms all create stress. Be considerate of your neighbors. Quiet hours: 10PM to 7AM.
- Neither residents nor guests may live onsite in trailers, RVs, or mobile homes.
- Firearms, air guns, and slingshots are banned. The wildlife here is protected. Stay on the path when visiting the wetlands. Watch for the friendly local deer.
- Drive slowly within our community. The posted limit is 15 mph, which is hard to do unless you pay attention. Also, no ATVs can be driven on our roads.
- Leave the beach cleaner than you found it. Take or secure household garbage.
