A few friends and I want to have a chill and smallish bonfire toward the end of the month, but we're aware that winds from the Pacific tend to pick up around then considerably. We have our eyes on a location, and are going to monitor the wind 1-2 days before we go out. However, I'm looking for some Plan B's, but I can't find anything besides Santa Cruz.
Are there other options where we'd be allowed to have a small bonfire, maybe around East Bay?
Thanks!
If you can book a campsite at Coast Campground in Point Reyes, they allow beach fires. You'll have to download and print a fire permit and call the morning of to verify, but I was there a couple weeks ago and we had a fire. There was a lot of wind on the beach, but there's a small area set back behind a dune that was more protected and we were able to have a nice fire there.
