If you want to enjoy a beach bonfire without all the work of setting it up and breaking it down, call Ocracoke Beach Fires. They handle everything, so all you have to do is sit down and relax. They provide the National Park Service permit, chairs, firewood and trash bin (add on s'mores, beer or wine and cheese if you'd like), and take it all away at the end. They'll set up a three-hour, private bonfire on Lifeguard Beach just before sunset. Or you can attend their weekly Pirate & Sea Tales Beach Fires on Mondays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. or the Ghost Story Beach Fires on Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.; tickets are available for purchase online.
