Looking to warm your toes in some sand and enjoy a toasted marshmallow sandwiched between chocolate and graham crackers? Head over to Lincoln City, Cannon Beach, Newport, Rockaway Beach , Seaside, or Bandon, they all have beaches that allow bonfires. Some resorts even offer bonfire packages for their guests to enjoy one of summer’s favorite pastimes. Here is a short list we found recently: Seashore Inn (Seaside), Hallmark Resort and Spa (Cannon Beach), The Ocean Lodge (Cannon Beach), Inn at Cape Kiwandas (Pacific City), or Stephanie Inn (Cannon Beach).
Be sure to check the local city government website or with hotel staff for fire bans before building your bonfire. Also, be mindful of the size of your fire, which should be no larger than the size of a lawn chair. Keep in mind that you’ll need to bring some kindling and your own fire starter, since the wind can be quite powerful. Burning of large piles and driftwood is not permitted on Oregon beaches. When it’s time to put out your fire, be sure to cover it with sand and water to ensure it is completely extinguished. ENJOY!
