Sure, you have food, drinks, and great friends, but for a more unforgettable chill time on the beach, why not do one of the following?

Stargazing: It’s hard to see stars within the city; getting to the beach will bring you all the beauty of a star-lit sky. Invert your head, download a stargazing app to help you see constellations and planets, and chill with your friends sipping cocktails at the same time. Some of our top tips include bringing food to cook over the fire, like marshmallows and hotdogs.

Campfire Songs: It’s always more fun to sing with the sound of the ocean. While gathered around the fire, grab a guitar-playing friend if you can and sing your favorite songs. It’s another world singing a song while sitting and looking up at the stars, with the waves roaring in the background. 

Scary Stories: Prepare for some thrill by telling scary stories, gather your friends, and have a good time. Whether terrifying or not that much, it’ll add an extra layer of chill and thrill to your time at the beach. 

Essential Tips for Your Beach Bonfire Adventure:

• Don’t pack too much: Top off your Beach bonfire by keeping things light. Bring only the bare essentials, like a chair, a blanket, and the cooler, for the lighter you pack, the easier you set up and clean up. 
• Bring a flashlight: As night falls, it’s good to have a flashlight with you to help you navigate your rental and the beach, especially if you’re alone. 
• Clean up after yourself: Bring your trash bags and clean after yourself before you leave the beach. 

Close your eyes, focus on the fire, and the sound coming from it, while the waves from the ocean kiss your year. Enjoy the sound of the ocean while you sit and chill with loved ones’ round a bonfire.

Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the best the beach bonfire has to offer. Love every second, savor every moment, for you’ll remember these moments for the rest of your life. 

Would you schedule your bonfire on the beach today? Visit www.30a-beachgirls.com or call 850-849-7455 for more information about our bonfire services and schedule your reservation.

Looking for an amazing summer vacation without emptying your bank account? Say no more and head to 30A – sun, sand, and savings guaranteed! Resting on clean beaches with the sun nipping at your toes, enjoying the small towns, and engaging in the never-ending activities – there is no doubt you can have it all with any overrun expenses. Here are three smart tips on how to save money on your summer escape to 30A: 

Affordable Accommodation

• Instead of costly hotels, book a more budget-friendly vacation rental on 30A. Rent a beach home or a condo, which is more spacious and has all the necessary conveniences. Besides, with a kitchen available, you can make some meals yourself and save on dining out. Make sure to book as early as possible, as vacation rentals get packed quickly during the hot season. 

Enjoy Free Activities that 30A Has to Offer

• Spend time relaxing on the white beach, swimming in the clear water of the Gulf, observing incredible sunsets, and much more. Visit local parks and nature paths for biking or trekking, and attend free outdoor concerts or other events organized by the small charming towns. Check the available entertainment before the trip date.

Dining Smart

• Dining out can also significantly damage your budget but is there a way to keep it affordable on 30A? Look for daily specials or happy hours options in the restaurants. Instead of spending money drinking cocktails at the bar, buy some booze in a local store, and enjoy it as you watch the amazing sunsets. Save money on dining out and have dinner on the balcony at the vacation rental instead. 

With these tips, you can have the best summer ever on 30A without spending all your vacation savings. Visit www.30a-beachgirls.com or call 850 849-7455 and “Let the Fun Stay Home” while saving in the sun on 30A!
