Please remember that regulations require beach campfires must be less than three feet in diameter and must be at least ten feet from the nearest beach logs, structure, or vegetation. In addition, do not use or create rock rings for beach fires or dig pits for fires. Fires must be attended at all times and completely extinguished with water before you go to bed or leave your campsite. It is also illegal to burn chemically treated wood, painted wood, wood with staples as well as household garbage including plastic and cans.
