Bonfire on the Oak Island Beach! Yes, Please! Nov.16-Apr.30

This is a magical way to enjoy the beach in the cooler months. Fires are permitted on the Island from November 16 - April 30. You must apply for a permit no earlier that 72 hours prior to the fire. This is because the wind speeds can not exceed 15MPH to permit a fire. This application process is simple and free. Not to mention the enjoyment that comes from having a fire on the beach is priceless!
