There are no picnic areas or grills on the beach, and no open fires or grills are allowed on the beach without a permit. You
can get more information about regulations and permitting here:

You are also not allowed to grill within about
20 feet of any multi-unit building which means you cannot grill on the balcony of condos or motels.
However, several city parks, including Northside Park, at 127th Street have picnic areas and
grills available for free public use. There are also some condos and
hotels that have grills and picnic tables on their land behind the dune
line available for guests to use.
The Windjammer at 46th Street is one such place.
