Outdoor burning rules in Daytona Beach, FL — also called the burn ban, open burning, or fire restriction ordinance — set when you can burn yard waste, debris, or run a recreational fire.
Open burning in Daytona Beach requires authorization from the Florida Forest Service per FL Administrative Code 5I-2. Urban areas generally restrict open burning. Beach bonfires are allowed in designated fire pit rings with reservations, and visitors may bring their own fire pits outside sea turtle nesting season (May 1 - October 31).
Volusia County operates eight pre-existing fire pit rings on beaches from Ormond Beach to New Smyrna Beach, available by reservation at no cost. Visitors may bring personal fire pits to the beach outside nesting season. Fires must be extinguished with water by 11 PM. Plastic and foam may not be used as fuel. Charcoal grilling on the beach is permitted but charcoal must be removed and not placed in beach trash containers or sand.
Illegal burning carries fines of $250–$1,000. Burning during a declared ban is a misdemeanor with fines up to $2,000 and potential criminal liability for any damage caused.
