Well actually as i understand it from China creek headed south there are no leashes required but from China creek Northb towards bandon they are required. I believe there isa sign at the threshold of the trail/beach at China creek... But to answer your question i think its a combination of not caring and thinking their dog is well enough behaved so they ignore the rules and mix in a whole lot of people who simply are not informed. What i wanna know it's why go through the process off picking your dogs waste and bagging it and tying it all nice and then leaving it on the beach instead of throwing it away on the way out.....
Within the park, leashes are required. On the beach, however, (which is a highway from low tide to high tide) is a different story.
On the beach there is no dog leash requirement. Only on the trails to and from are leashes required.
