Fires on the beach

There's nothing like a campfire at the beach – enjoying time with friends and whānau, baking potatoes and cooking pipi.

If you want to light a fire on the beach, you must check with Fire and Emergency New Zealand whether you need a permit. You can check, and apply for a permit, at Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

For more information, see Fires.

To check the current fire season, see Fire Weather or Fire and Emergency New Zealand (click the ‘Check & Apply Now’ button on their page).
