Your FAQ

Question: Are BBQ's allowed on Beaches?

Answer: Only one beach managed by the Council permits barbecues. This is located at Red Cliff, Yaverland. It is also possible to book the purpose-built barbeque facility at Fort Victoria Country Park, near Yarmouth - this is ideal for larger parties.
