BBQ and fires – not permitted on our beaches | Latest news

If you're making the most of the sunny weather this weekend and having a BBQ, please make sure you BBQ responsibly.

• BBQs are not permitted on our beaches
  
  
• please find a suitable location if you plan to have a BBQ
  
  
• make sure your BBQ is fully extinguished and cold before disposing of it safely
  
  
• do not place BBQs into normal litter bins as these can quite easily ignite in the bin
  
  
• lose the litter - please tidy up any rubbish items, put them in a bin or take them home
  
  

Instead of a BBQ, why not have a delicious picnic or support your local take-away and have fish and chips instead.

A BBQ area is provided on the green space adjacent to the beach in Felpham, where appropriate large metal BBQs with fire bins attached, are in place for public use. During the seafront scheme update work - the BBQ areas in Littlehampton are not currently available.

Fires can spread quickly and become dangerous, harming people and damaging property.
