Building a fire on the Beach

If you want to build a fire on the beach you'll need a shovel, firewood, starter log, lighter fluid and a bucket for water. Please be sure to put the fire completely out with water before leaving. Covering it with sand is dangerous as the coals still burn and can injure someone the next day. Don't forget the ingredients for smores and sticks for roasting marshmallows!

Vehicle/Golf Cart/ATV Requirements
