beach bonfire

Shoreline sand flames

A beach bonfire is a large fire built on a sandy shore, typically for social gatherings after dark.

The beach setting offers open space, natural firebreaks, and driftwood for fuel.

Beach bonfires are associated with summer nights, casual parties, and coastal culture: We roasted marshmallows at the beach bonfire.

Many coastal towns regulate or ban them due to fire safety and environmental concerns.
