Oregon State Park Reminder: No Fireworks or Camping on Coast Beaches

Oregon State Park Reminder: No Fireworks or Camping on Coast Beaches: "Oregon Coast) – It may seem like a good idea at the time, with all the sand and water around. But it turns out that shooting off fireworks on Oregon coast beaches is a big no-no.

Oregon's state parks and ocean beaches are inviting places for Fourth of July activities as long as they do not include setting off fireworks.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) issued that reminder this week, pointing out fireworks - including sparklers - are prohibited in all state parks in Oregon and banned on the state's beaches. Only fireworks managed as part of Independence Day community events with pre-approved permits are allowed."
