Beach Bonfire Basics: What to bring, what to make, where to get a spot

As southern Californians, beach bonfires have always been one of the first rites of summer.

Whether you’re out for a jam session with friends or curled up in a blanket with your date, bonfires can be fun, affordable affairs for any occasion.  - Cheryl Infante
