Private beach bonfires on the sand at Cinnamon Shore
A reserved fire on the beach is the easiest way to end a day at Cinnamon Shore — fragrant pinion firewood, a contained pit set up for you, and an after-dinner activity that sorts itself out. Keep it small for your own group, or book the Social Bonfire when the whole family is in town.
Beach bonfires at Cinnamon Shore are reserved, contained fires set up on the sand at the North or South property — no hauling wood, no digging a pit, no guesswork. The resort handles the setup; you bring the marshmallows. It's the quietest, lowest-effort way to keep an evening going once dinner is done.
What a beach bonfire includes
A standard reservation gets you a contained fire pit on the beach, fragrant pinion firewood, and the setup done for you before you arrive. It's built to be simple: walk down after dinner, settle in around the fire, and let the evening run long. Bring your own s'mores supplies for a small group, or add the kit when you book.
When to book the Social Bonfire
- You've got the whole family or a larger group in town and want everyone around one fire.
- The Social Bonfire scales up to about 25 guests with cushioned seating around the pit.
- It comes with a Bluetooth speaker for your own playlist and a s'mores kit so nobody has to make a grocery run.
- It's a natural fit for a reunion, a birthday, or a last-night-of-the-trip send-off.
What to keep in mind
- Bonfires are reserved through Cinnamon Shore — book ahead, especially in peak season and on weekends.
- Beach fire rules and burn conditions can change with weather and local fire restrictions. Confirm availability with the resort when you book.
- It's an easy, kid-friendly evening, but a real fire is still a fire — keep little ones supervised around the pit.
- Pair it with a <a href="https://beachedinn.com/cinnamon-shore-beach">walk on the Cinnamon Shore beach</a> at sunset before the fire gets going.
