About This Activity
Skip the permit headaches and let someone else haul the firewood. Dewey Beach Bonfire Rentals handles everything - permits, setup, firewood, and cleanup - so all you have to do is show up, claim your spot in the sand, and watch the flames dance against the Atlantic. Run by the crew at Dewey Beach Surf Shop, these private beach bonfires are one of the best ways to spend an evening in town.
How It Works: Pick your date, book online, and they take care of the rest. Bonfires accommodate up to 24 people, making it surprisingly affordable when you split it with a group. Fires light up in the evening, giving you a solid window for sunset vibes into full-on stargazing. Check their website for current pricing and availability.
Dog-Friendly Bonus: Your pup is welcome at the bonfire as long as they have a Dewey Beach dog license. Pack some marshmallows, bring a speaker for low-key tunes, and let the kids run around in the sand while you actually relax for once. Just note - no glass or alcohol on the beach between May 15 and September 15 per town rules.
Bookings open after April 1 each year, so plan ahead if you want a prime summer weekend slot - they fill up fast. If you have ever wanted your own private bonfire on the beach without any of the hassle, this is it.
