We appreciate your patience whilst the new system is implemented and apologise for any disruption that you may experience.

If you get caught using a single-use, disposable barbecue, you could be fined £100. They will also extinguish or take your barbecue.
If you are caught using a reusable barbecue in a non-designated area, an officer will ask you to extinguish the barbecue or move to a designated area.
Please respect your fellow beach users and residents. Not all appreciate the smoke and smell that is created from the barbecue. Hot stones on the beach or hot charcoal is dangerous to beach users, dogs and wildlife. It is also a criminal offence. Please put extinguished, cold coals into the yellow barbecue bins on the promenade after you leave.
Do not bring glasses onto our beaches. If smashed they can easily injure people on the beach.
