MyAccount maintenance
Due to essential updates, MyAccount will be unavailable between 3pm and 3:30pm today (26 September 2023). We apologise for any inconvenience.
Our guide shows what is and isn't permitted on beaches, as well as how we're making the seafront more accessible.
In Brighton & Hove you may use reusable barbecues on the beach after 6pm except for in the areas listed below.
You cannot use single-use, disposable barbecues on any part of the beach, promenade or Lawns from 1 July 2022.
You may not barbecue:
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.
