Can I have a bonfire (open fire) on the beach?

• 24 September 2024

No. Open fires are not permitted on St. Johns County Beaches. Any and all fires and associated debris must be self-contained (have a lid) and removed in the same manner in which they arrived. If you are using charcoal grills, you must take the coals with you when you leave. Please do not place coals in beach garbage cans. It is prohibited for any person to dispose of coal, briquettes, embers or other heated objects on the beach or in trash receptacles.
