Lighting Up Legally at Sandy Beach Suites: How to Use Our Covered Smoking Gazebo
If you smoke and want a stress-free stay, this guide is for you. Sandy Beach Suites is entirely smoke-free inside suites, on the beach, and in parking areas—but there is one place set aside for you to enjoy a break without worry: our covered smoking gazebo. Use it, and you’ll keep your stay fresh, courteous to neighbors, and safely clear of the $250 cleaning-fee policy that applies to smoking in prohibited areas.
Quick Answers (For Fast, Frictionless Compliance)
- Where can I smoke? — At the property’s single, designated, covered smoking gazebo.
- Can I smoke on the beach, in parking areas, or inside suites? — No. Those areas are smoke-free.
- What happens if I smoke where it’s not allowed? — A $250 cleaning fee may apply.
- How do I stay within the rules? — Use the covered smoking gazebo and follow any posted guidance.
What the Policy Means (and Why It Matters)
Sandy Beach Suites keeps shared spaces fresher and more comfortable by limiting smoking to one specific spot: the covered smoking gazebo. Everywhere else—including all suites, the beach, and parking areas—is smoke-free. This ensures:
- Better air quality for guests and families
- Cleaner furnishings and shared spaces
- A more consistent, comfortable experience for everyone
Designated areas like a covered gazebo strike a balance: guests who smoke have a clearly defined, sheltered place to go, and guests who don’t can enjoy smoke-free relaxation across the rest of the property.

How to Use the Covered Smoking Gazebo (Step by Step)
Head to the designated spot
- When you want to smoke, make your way to the covered smoking gazebo. Keeping all smoking in this space helps everyone enjoy a fresher environment and keeps you within policy.
Light up, courteously and safely
- Be mindful of where your smoke drifts; a small shift in where you stand can make a big difference for others nearby.
- Keep conversations at a respectful volume, especially early in the morning or later at night.
Handle ash and remnants responsibly
- If a receptacle is available, use it. If not, carry a pocket ashtray or a small, sealable container until you can dispose of waste properly. Never litter.
Tidy up before you leave
- A quick check—no butts on the ground, no packaging left behind—keeps the gazebo welcoming for the next guest and supports the property’s standards.
Keep an eye on posted guidance
- If any on-site guidance is provided at or near the gazebo, follow it. Policies exist to ensure comfort, safety, and fairness for everyone.
Why a Covered Gazebo Helps (Beyond the Obvious)
- Comfort in all weather: A covered structure helps shield from sun or light rain, so you don’t have to rush or take risks in prohibited areas.
- Clear, consistent expectations: With one designated location, there’s no guesswork about where smoking is permitted.
- Community-friendly: Concentrating smoking in one spot reduces smoke exposure throughout the rest of the property.
