Casual driftwood seating, roasting marshmallows, and the sky shifting from vivid sunset hues to starry brilliance offer the perfect backdrop to the coastal magic. But before stocking up on firewood and snacks from a local grocery store, be sure to check current fire regulations. If fires are permitted, dig a shallow pit, keep your fire small (about 2 by 2 feet, or 0.6 m by 0.6 m), and build only on dry sand away from beach grass and driftwood. When the evening winds down, douse the flames with plenty of water until it’s completely cool — never bury a fire with sand, which can create hidden dangers for others.
