Check whether you need permission to have a beach party.

You've got your heart set on a beach party! But wait just one minute: many beaches are protected or governed by a local council, and may have laws and statutes limiting their use. Even if it is legal to have a beach party, you might need a permit or to pay a fee. Ask the local government authority whether picnics and beach parties are allowed, and what you need to do to have one on the up-and-up.
