As a kid growing up in So. Cal. bonfires on the beach were always a time honored tradition for me. We would surf all day and by the end of the day as the sun would set we would start a big bonfire and watch the sunset into the ocean. We would burn anything we could get our hands on. Most of the time it was an old pallet we would find behind the market or on the side of the road. As we got older sometimes we had to buy firewood at the store, but it was always more fun to burn what we could scrap up.

Someone always had a boom box for music and the fires always attracted friends or the girls around the beach. We would sometime cook hot dogs and just sit around and drink and tell stories. It was just part of growing up near the beach in California.

These fire pits were big cement rings and they are on most beaches in Calif. and best of all they were free. Most of the time they were on a first come first serve basics. A lot of the State beaches have campsites at the beach as well and on holiday weekends some of these fire rings were hard to come by.

These fire pits for bonfires are instant gathering places for entertainment and sharing so they are popular especially during the summertime!

I was just wondering if anyone else has the same memories of beach bonfires.
