FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does a bonfire cost?

Beach Bonfires start at $350. Holidays and Holiday Weekends start at $450. Add-ons are available for an additional cost.

Can I book for today or tomorrow?

We need at least 48 hours to confirm our availability and obtain the necessary permit with the town of Dewey Beach! Because of this, we cannot offer same-day or next-day bookings. 

How do I check your availability?

Availability can be checked by choosing a Beach Bonfire, choosing a street location, and choosing a date. Once you select an available date, available times will pop up. If a date is greyed-out, that means we are unavailable. If you're looking to book for a Holiday, view the Holiday Dates listings.

Can I bring food/party decorations to my bonfire?

Absolutely! So long as you are aware that you are responsible for set up and clean up of the items you bring, you are more than welcome to bring additional items to your Bonfire. While there are public trash cans at each beach entrance, we recommend bringing a trash bag if you think you will produce an abundance of trash. It is your responsibility to dispose of any trash/trash bags appropriately- please do not over flow the town trash cans.

Can I drink alcohol at my bonfire?

Alcohol and glass containers are strictly prohibited on the beach between May 15 and September 15. Dewey Beach Surf Shop is not responsible for any fines incurred should you disregard this policy.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

  • We require being notified at least 36 hours before your bonfire date/time to cancel the request and provide a refund or a reschedule.
  • We typically monitor the weather on a daily basis and will often attempt to reach out to you and reschedule if it looks like weather will become an issue.
  • Should you contact us within the aforementioned time frame, we can provide a refund (minus our transaction fee of 8%) or a reschedule.
  • All cancellations will incur a refund transaction fee of 8%.
  • Same day cancellations and/or no-shows do not receive a refund or a reschedule.

What if there is bad weather?

In the event of rain or bad weather, we are happy to offer a refund or a reschedule should you contact us within the aforementioned time frame (36 hours prior to your bonfire).

If you decide to proceed with your Bonfire despite an "iffy" forecast and it ends up raining, we will not be able to offer you a refund or a reschedule. This is because we would have already provided our services to you!
