As safety is our main concern, we ask the cooperation of our guests to observe and obey the following rules:

18.1 To be able to maintain the cleanliness and gray sand of the beach and the seashore, bonfire is strictly set up by our guests with the guidance of the resort staff.

18.2 Bonfire should be small and contained and should never be larger than 24 inches diameter. Large bonfires are prohibited at all times. Use small pieces of clean wood. Do not burn logs or large driftwood piles. Don't burn firewood gathered on the beach.

18.3 Make sure that your bonfire is away from the sea which at least not beyond the high tide line.

18.4 No bonfire is allowed during dry windy conditions wherein winds can kick up along the coast and send embers into the air. Windy weather can cause embers travel from your bonfire location and this can pose hazard to start wildfire.

18.5 Don't leave your fire unattended for any reasons.

18.6 To extinguish your fire, douse it with water until it is completely out. To put out your fire, do not cover it with sand as this poses a safety hazard. This could lead to another beach-goer stepping in the covered fire-pit and becoming severely burned. Due to negligence, people have burned their feet by inadvertently walking across a smoldering bonfire buried in the sand.

18.7 Do not use sand to distinguish the fire, as it creates a mess for the next guest aside from the fact that the ashes of burned materials can be easily mix to the waters during high tide, thus it will pollute the beach and the sea.

18.8 After snuffing out the flame with water, make sure that you informed the Resort Staff that you are done or finished with your bonfire.

18 .9 As the beach fire or bonfire activities in our vicinity is situational in status, i.e. unexpected bad weather conditions or circumstances beyond the Resort's control, e.g. Notice from authorities to temporarily prohibit beach fires activities for some reasons, signage may be posted in conspicuous location to notify our guests regarding the situation.

Normally, our resort does not allow the use or pitching of tents due to space constraints. However, for exclusive group activities and other special occasions requiring temporary or collapsible structures, this may be coordinated and requested with our Booking Office or Front Desk.
