Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for large parties?

Yes. Any party with more than 40 guests requires a permit.

Do you obtain the permit?

We do not obtain permits on your behalf, but we can assist you in the
process—especially for weddings and special events. Let us know what you’re planning, and we’ll help guide you through securing the proper permits.

Can I customize my package?

We do not offer custom packages, but you're welcome to enhance your experience by selecting items from our Add-Ons Page.

What if the weather is bad?

We want every guest to have an enjoyable beach bonfire experience. However, since this is an outdoor event, we cannot offer refunds due to weather. If the forecast isn’t looking favorable, we’re happy to reschedule your reservation for another day.

Where will my bonfire be set up?

We set up as close to the two main beach entrances (Pier Avenue Oceano and Grand Avenue Grover Beach) as possible. However, because it is a public beach, exact placement cannot be guaranteed. On the day of your event, we’ll text you the exact location once setup is complete.

Important Safety & Conduct Guidelines

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, please read and follow the
rules below:

  • Guests attend at their own risk. We are not responsible for injuries or for any
    lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings.
  • Hosts are responsible for the behavior of their guests and ensuring no
    prohibited items are brought to the beach.

Beach Rules to Follow:

  • No glass containers
  • No food vending
  • No fireworks
  • Only firewood may be burned—no trash, paper, or other materials
  • Keep a safe distance from open flames
  • Avoid wearing loose clothing near the fire
  • Do not throw items into the fire
  • Children must be closely supervised
  • Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times

We appreciate your cooperation in following these rules and helping us keep the beach
safe and welcoming for all.
