You can help keep Ocean Beach fires alive by following these simple rules:
•No fires outside rings.
•No glass in the fires.
•No alcohol on the beach.
•No fires after 10 PM.
•Burn only untreated, unpainted wood, to keep pollutants and poisons out of the air and sand.
•Don't burn pallets or any wood containing nails or other hardware.
•Bring your own firewood-don't use driftwood or other natural debris, as they serve as wildlife habitat. Gathering, cutting or scavenging of firewood or kindling is not permitted at the beach or in the park. Locally grown firewood is best.
•Burn Clean. Avoid using accelerants such as lighter fluid, as they leave pollution and poisons in the sand and the air. Paper and kindling are preferred fire starter material.
•Don't burn trash or debris. Most trash gives off pollution and poisonous gases. Refuse must be removed from the beach.
•Ceramic pit fires are prohibited.
•Bring a bucket to put out fire. Fires shall be completely extinguished with water, using the "drown, stir and feel" method.
•Do NOT bury hot coals with sand; buried coals are a safety hazard to visitors and wildlife.
•Fires shall be attended at all times by a responsible adult (18 year of age or older). Minors must be supervised by one person 21 or over for each 10 people under 18.
•Groups of more than 25 people must obtain a permit by calling 415-561-4300. the administrative cost for the permit is $50.00. Large-scale events may require more extensive review by National Park Service staff. If it is determined that your event will require extensive review, the administrative cost may be higher.
•Observe all posted regulations.
•Please observe "Spare the Air days." Do not burn beach fires when air pollution is severe. When air pollution reaches unhealthy levels, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District notifies the public by declaring a "Spare the Air day." To find out if today is a "Spare the Air day," visit

Dillon Beach is Private and they have a few
fire rings and a good Kite beach.
There is a parking fee. About 50 road miles north of San Francisco.
An alternative would be a BBQ at Crissy, they have good Pic knick tables and Grills. And Alcohol is OK.
