Saltwater Social stages private, fully permitted beach bonfires along Florida's Emerald Coast, centered near Destin, Miramar Beach, and along Scenic Highway 30A. On a two-hour Saltwater Social gathering you trade crowded bars for the open edge of the Gulf—sugar-white sand underfoot, sea oats bristling on the dunes, and the Gulf's turquoise turning to emerald at the horizon. The company arranges propane-fueled fires, portable seating, and the small comforts that make a shoreline evening feel effortless. An evening with Saltwater Social begins with the sun lowering behind a flat, glassy sea and the sky souring through tangerine and lavender. Key features of the scene include the wide beach strand, low coastal dunes built of quartz-rich sand, and the wide sweep of the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll notice coastal flora like sea oats and dune grasses and, at dusk, osprey or heron working the shallows—local touches that tie the experience to this particular stretch of Florida coast. This operation is a stand-out because it moves the party out of restaurants and back to the element that defines Destin and 30A: open sand and memorable sunsets. Saltwater Social manages permits and setup—especially helpful on public beaches where bonfire rules are strict—so groups can focus on stories, s’mores, and music instead of logistics. The use of propane means clean, controlled flames that meet local beach regulations while still delivering the warmth and ritual of a fire. Why choose it here? The Emerald Coast's combination of sugar-white sand and green-tinged Gulf water creates one of the most photographable shorelines in the Southeast. Miramar Beach and the communities along 30A offer broad beach access points and wide tidal flats that make evening fires comfortable and safe for families. For couples or small groups celebrating birthdays, reunions, or proposals, the private setup gives a theatrical, low-effort way to mark an occasion. Practical details: most experiences run two hours; booking ahead is advised, especially for sunset slots on holiday weekends. Call for same-day requests—Saltwater Social notes that ability to accommodate last-minute bookings varies. Bring a light layer as the coast cools quickly after sunset, a camera with a wide lens for shoreline panoramas, and an appetite for roasted marshmallows. Saltwater Social amplifies what makes the Emerald Coast special: public shorelines that invite communal gatherings, coastal wildlife at close range, and sunsets that make ordinary evenings feel deliberately unforgettable. Staff arrive early to lay out chairs, set the flame, and pack away gear so you leave the beach as you found it. Fires are positioned to avoid dunes and vegetation, and organizers follow Walton and Okaloosa County rules where applicable. Expect simple extras like string lights or acoustic guitar on request—ask when you book for sunset or later nights.
