Serious though, the used/broken pallet idea is probably the best way to go.

Or, don't use pallets unless you are gonna take them apart. Nails are dangerous to leave on the beach. I am sure we are all big kids and can handle that, so just be careful - and don't let a park ranger or cop catch you burning pallets for the nails reason. Also, if you are doing this in SF, they have changed the rules where you can have fires. The only place that's okay now is straight out from the park. Everywhere else, you'll have a dude in a funny suit telling you to leave in some weird official copspeak language.
Anecdote: We had a small bonfire a few months back near great hwy and Taraval.. We had a little hibachi going with some fish and stuff. My friend was cutting up the fish and a cop swooped up behind him like a stealthly moose and started with "SIR, PLEASE PUT DOWN THE KNIFE" in a very loud voice. My friend was like WTF? and he turned around still holding the knife covered in cooked fishgoo. The cop again stated "SIR - PUT DOWN THE KNIFE RIGHT NOW" as he put his hand on his gun. My buddy sorta laughed.. And of course set down the knife - and then put his hands up "is this a stickup?" I know they gotta be safe and stuff but he wasn't exactly walking toward him in a dark alley carrying a switchblade. Ahh well, must be fun for them or something. BTW he told us to put out the fire and leave immediately..

Either way, I mean - I know my buddy - but he doesn't. Gotta treat everyone like a cracked out maniac just in case they are.
