beach bonfires
Coastal nighttime gatherings
Beach bonfires are fires built on sandy shorelines, typically after dark, for warmth and socializing.
They're a staple of coastal culture, associated with summer gatherings, cookouts, and late-night conversations.
Many beaches regulate or prohibit bonfires due to fire safety and environmental concerns, so designated fire pits or permits are often required.
We roasted marshmallows at the beach bonfire until the tide started coming in.
