Fire on the water?

[AceArcher]

Anyone know if it okay to make a fire on the beach? Also is there usually plenty of driftwood available in the holly beach to calc jetties beaches to make a fire.. or do you need to bring the wood with you?

Thinking of going down with my little buddy, and would be nice to have a fire to roast some hot dogs / marshmallows on while we watch the rods for reds etc...

Weve made a fire on Grand Isle beach. Sounds like a fun time.

Don't think there is an issue with a fire on the beach. Not sure on the driftwood though. A lot of stuff down there is creosote, so not good for roasting hot dogs, etc.

Thanks for the info guys...

Most driftwood you find on the beach is slap waterlogged even though it looks dry

I know years ago we went camping on Rutherford beach and burned all the drift wood within 300 yards in both directions from our camper on the beach... Good times..

I think the only time you run into problems is if you are in one of the parks or management areas, then they have some "rules" n stuff you need to follow about it.

if your going to be on the beach I recommend bringing an old junk steel car rim to use as a metal fire pit so your not trying to build a fire right on damp sand, it makes a big difference.
