Martin County: beach fires allowed only Nov. through Feb.; permits required
Summary
2MC hosts said beach fires in Martin County are limited to the non‑turtle‑nesting season (November–February) and are allowed only in designated fire pits with a permit from county parks.
Courtney, co‑host of the local 2MC program, said Martin County allows beach fires only during the non‑turtle‑nesting season — "November through February" — and only in designated fire pits with a county permit.
County staff require permits for beach fires to protect nesting sea turtles; the hosts advised listeners to obtain permits through the Martin County parks service rather than building open fires on the beach.
For specifics on designated pit locations, permit fees (if any) and the application process, residents should consult the Martin County parks pages on the official county website.
