The cutest set up ever! Everything was coordinated great. Speakers and s'mores and chairs and coolers and tables all provided, all we had to do was show up. It was our favorite night!

Questions

Good to Know

Do you handle the permit?

Yes. Every package includes the South Walton Fire District bonfire permit. We buy it about 14 days before your night, as soon as the county opens sales for that date. The permit fee is non-refundable once it is issued.

Where do you set up?

At 11 permitted public beach accesses from Miramar Beach to Inlet Beach. See every spot on our beach map. If your first choice sells out, we reach out with the closest open access.

Can we have a bonfire in Destin?

Destin is in Okaloosa County, which does not allow beach bonfires. Miramar Beach is about 15 minutes east, and it is our closest fire to Destin.

What time do bonfires start?

From March 1 through October 31, as early as 5:45 PM, with the beach clear by midnight. From November 1 through February, as early as 4:45 PM, with the beach clear by 11 PM. Most guests start 30 minutes before sunset.

What if it rains?

Rain alone does not cancel a bonfire. If the weather looks unsure, we can often move your start time if you ask before noon that day. If the county cancels fires, we work with you on a new date.
