I don't think I've ever seen one out there.  I'd contact code enforcement since they are in charge of the bonfire permits, the sheriff's office would be next on my list.

I would need to know when and where exactly, and what we are cooking. :lol:

Don't believe there are any prohibitions on gas grills -- you're not building a fire in the sand, you take the grill with you when you're done, not to worry.

Illegal.  You get caught you are looking at a $500 citation.  Buy your food from a local purveyor and have fun without all the fuss.

Yikes! A homemade burger is definitely not worth $500! I'll leave it at home. Thanks guys.

This is not the official Walton County opinion (check North Lake's post for that) but I wouldn't think there would be anything wrong with a small Coleman-type tailgate grill, assuming you could keep it lit with the gulf breezes.
 
If you are talking about a full-sized propane grill, good luck dragging it down the beach access (unless, of course, you have a vehicle permit).
 
If the beach patrol comes by and looks interested, offer them something to eat.  Good luck!

Margaritaville makes a hitch mounted gas grill. I planned on asking for it for birthday/Fathers day.

I forgot about helping you haul one off the beach around 4am.  :funn:
