The rules about beach bonfires in Southern California differ with each beach. Most Southern California beaches maintain a website that tells all the rules. Some do not allow fires at all. of those that do allow fires, they usually require them to be in a fire ring, to use only small wood, not to be stacked higher than 2 feet, to use no treated wood, not to use any pallets as wood fire, and to put the fire out with water only, not sand. Of the places that do allow beach fires, many have a curfew on fires, for example, from 11pm to 7am. A few places do not have a fire curfew. All locations require the fire to be attended by a person at all times. Southern California Beaches do not allow alcohol, glass bottles, dogs, or smoking. So, do not plan to bring your dog, drink beer, and smoke, because you will get kicked out and be given a handful of tickets.

Try Huntington beaches. State beach and county beaches have fire rings. You need to check curfew time limits.
