At a Tropical Breeze on Cape San Blas, building a bonfire while the sun is setting is one of our very favorite activities and definitely leaves a big impression on guests, since so few beaches allow campfires on the beach. This tip took me by surprise so I wanted to be sure to share with all future guests.
From VisitGulf.com: Gathering around a campfire at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park is always an awesome
adventure!
If you ask Park Manager, Mark Knapke what one thing he
wishes everyone knew, he will tell you about wood.
“Don’t bring firewood from beyond 50 miles of the State
Park. People don’t know why this is important but it’s because of bugs or
disease. You may unknowingly bring disease into the park that trees and/or
vegetation haven’t been exposed to. We sell firewood. And, please keep your
campfire within designated fire rings. Always, leave it the way you found it –
leave no trace.”
