How To Build And Enjoy A Beach Bonfire

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

A day at the beach can provide you with lots of different ways to have fun, but at the end of a long day at the beach, one of the best things of all that you can do - better even than just about anything you can do during the day at the beach - is to build a bonfire and sit around it enjoying the sounds of the ocean and the feel of the night with a group of people you enjoy. Of course, having the right people together and sitting on the beach at night is good enough in and of itself, but if you are wanting to build and enjoy a bonfire to maximize your "night on the beach" experience, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Once you have made certain you will not get in trouble with the authorities for building a bonfire on the beach in question (after all, it is no fun to get your bonfire busted by the police!), you will want to dig a pit in the sand about a foot deep, and then you will want to find enough rocks that you can build a ring of rocks around this fire pit, as this will ensure that the fire remains contained.

Your next step will be stacking the wood and getting the fire going; when you are building a bonfire on the beach, the best way to stack the wood is in a teepee shape, adding kindling in the middle of the wood to get the fire going.

You can roast marshmallows and other food over your bonfire in order to have fun, or you can simply enjoy the fire and enjoy the ocean and enjoy the company of your friends - but also, you will need to remember that the night does not end when the conversation ends, as you will also need to put out the fire completely before you leave its side.

By paying attention to all these steps, you will be able to enjoy a bonfire on the beach - in a legal, effective, and (best of all!) safe manner.
