Also, should I bring anything else (like lighter fluid?). Where can I get this stuff?
Thanks.
Most people just collect fallen branches, etc… from GG Park across the street. Starter logs technically aren’t allowed, and you can be fined (and have the fire shut down) for using them. The reason is because they’re drenched in chemicals, which isn’t preferable considering the beach is home to many wild animals (birds of various sorts, rats, etc…) and toxic chemicals aren’t really a great idea. Likewise, lighter fluid is also illegal to use. I think driftwood is banned, too.
People obviously use these things, and often get away with it… but if you’re caught, you’re in trouble. And even if not caught, it’s quite irresponsible to do so considering the potential environmental problems (not like there isn’t enough toxic crap on the beach lately, but…).
Also, you’re responsible for putting the fire out and getting rid of all of the debris… Most people do the former, few do the latter. Likewise, the former is heavily enforced (if a cop sees an unattended fire, or a group walking away from a fire, it’s ALWAYS enforced)… the latter, not so much.
