- NEW THIS YEAR: Due to the large number of non-motorized watercraft being moored at the beach, the board has decided to more strictly enforce the rules regarding such watercraft. These rules are found in your Bayside Beach Constitution, Rules and By-Laws publication. ALL NON-MOTORIZED WATERCRAFT (KAYAKS, ROW BOATS, ETC.) MOORED AT/ON THE BEACH MUST BE REGISTERED WITH THE MOORING CHAIRPERSON. Registration forms will be available on opening day. Also, members may request registration forms from Jeff Parko by writing to him and forwarding your request to him at 4444 Welland Drive West Bloomfield, MI Registered members will receive decals to place on their watercraft. Any non-motorized watercraft not registered will be removed from the beach area and be locked up behind the storage garage.
