Rules for selling goods at county parks and beaches

The Council finds that peddling of wares and services on or near County parks, beaches, playgrounds, and visitor sites have increased at an alarming rate primarily because a gathering of people means potential customers. When unregulated, such peddling can become an intrusion upon people's enjoyment of a place or facility. The Council finds that unregulated peddling has generated complaints by visitors and residents alike, that it is affecting the vital tourist industry by diminishing the visitor's experience on Kaua'i, and that it is interfering with island residents' quiet enjoyment of beaches, parks, and other outdoor areas.The purpose of this Section is to regulate peddlers at County parks, playgrounds, and other facilities and prohibit peddling on the beaches of Kaua'i.The Council also finds that concessions at Spouting Horn Park have been in existence for almost forty (40) years, providing affordable mementos and jewelry to visitors and contributing to the visitor's experience on Kaua'i. It has also provided substantial income to the County of Kaua'i over the years.
