- Beach Pit Fires
Beach pit fires are allowed on the beach in the Town of Nags Head with a permit. Permits are issued between 5:30 p.m. and midnight daily based on current wind speed and fire danger conditions. Permits are valid the day of issue only, through midnight, and are valid only within the Town of Nags Head.
Permits are issued online via our Fire Permit Website.
During special events or fire conditions the permits will be disabled for a period of time depending on the situation. If they are disabled for the day please visit us again on the next day. Examples of special fire conditions include days on which the Town is hosting a professional fireworks show, such as on July 4, and during a State of North Carolina-issued fire ban.
