What are the rules for fires at Muir Beach?
Muir Beach has only 3 fire rings. It’s outside SF in the North Bay, so it’s a bit of a drive for most people living in SF. Its key advantage is that it allows alcohol (major props), though that’s balanced by its disadvantage, which is that it closes one hour after sunset, meaning you can’t be on the beach after around 9pm during the summer. It’s fire rings are also first-come, first-served. No special permits are required for large groups. Finally, dogs are allowed, but must be kept on-leash. Hopefully this info will be helpful to some folks.
