This is a guide on how and where to barbecue safely on Adur and Worthing beaches. This is new information has been updated from the pages relating to bonfires on beaches, so please tell your friends and family about the new rules.

You may not barbecue on Shoreham Beach it is a Local Nature Reserve and contains rare plants. Please respect this area.

You may barbecue on any other beach within Southwick or Worthing.

The beaches at Lancing are controlled by Lancing Parish Council and you must seek permission from them if you intend to use those beaches.

Please do not bring glass on to our beaches.

Do:

• only light barbecues after 6pm
• contain barbecues in a metal tray
• raise barbecues above the pebbles to prevent them getting hot and burning people once you have left the beach
• douse the barbecue with cold water once you have finished to ensure the fire is out and the coals are cold
• dispose of your litter by taking it home with you or using the bins provided near to beaches when you leave - any food remains should be well wrapped before being placed in a bin

Don't:

• light a fire - this is extremely dangerous to other beach users and has caused serious injuries in the past
• cover up hot stones with cold ones - cold stones shatter when they warm up and can cause injury
• leave your litter behind
• bring glass bottles on to the beach
• play amplified music
• have more than 20 people at your gathering
