Many tourists take the risk, taking that portable barbecue and having a barbecue on the grass. However, if you get a complaint or if the inspectors pass by at that time. Your barbecue is gone.

However, rest assured that you can have your barbecue on the sand, but do your part and don't put the charcoal in the sand. Because people can step on it and get burned and it will pollute the beach.

At Guarita, it is prohibited in any area of the park and beach. So don't insist!

Remembering that the main objective of the ban is to prevent them from throwing coal in the sand, polluting the beach and damaging the dunes as they are APP (Permanent Preservation Area) areas.
