beach barbecue

Sandy grilling gathering

A beach barbecue is an outdoor cookout held on a beach, combining grilling with the setting of sand and surf.

The term covers both the event itself and the cooking setup: We're having a beach barbecue this Saturday.

Beach barbecues typically feature portable grills, seafood, and a casual atmosphere shaped by proximity to the water.
