BBQ and fires – not permitted on our beaches
If you're making the most of the sunny weather this summer 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.
BBQ areas are provided on green spaces adjacent to the beaches in Littlehampton and Felpham, where the appropriate large metal BBQs with fire bins attached are in place for public use. Fires can spread quickly and become dangerous, harming people and damaging property.
The images show recent activity on West Beach, Littlehampton – this is criminal damage. These fires were close to the dunes (a protected area) and a toilet block which could have easily gone up in flames.
