Can you live in a tent on the beach?

Only a few beaches, mostly within state parks, allow overnight camping on beaches and may require permits to do so. Where tents are allowed, beachgoers are generally required to securely anchor them to prevent injury to others.

Most beach campsites are located in the slightly sheltered area behind the sand dunes. Camping right out on the beach near the waves is not usually permitted for safety reasons and to protect wildlife like sea turtles and nesting birds.

Be prepared to be disturbed as a 24-hour beach patrol will be repeatedly visiting to gather evidence for prosecution and you could face a £1000 fine.
