How to Plan a Surprise Proposal at a 30A Beach Bonfire



Planning a surprise proposal can be both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. Imagine popping the question with the backdrop of a beautiful beach bonfire on 30A—it's a dream come true! If you’re thinking about making this magical moment happen, we’ve got you covered with a simple, easy-to-follow guide. Here’s how to plan the perfect surprise proposal at a 30A beach bonfire that will leave your partner speechless.


1. Choose the Perfect Beach Location

30A is known for its stunning beaches, so picking the right spot for your proposal is crucial. Here are a few tips to help you choose:

  • Scenic Beauty: Look for a beach with beautiful views. The white sands and clear waters along 30A are perfect for a romantic setting.

  • Privacy: Choose a location that isn’t too crowded. A quieter spot will make the moment more intimate and special. This will depend on the time of year, so ask our booking team for recommendations.

  • Accessibility: Make sure the location is easy for you and your partner to get to, especially if you’re planning to set up a bonfire.

Famous beaches on 30A include Seagrove Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Grayton Beach. Each offers its unique charm and a beautiful setting for your proposal.


2. Plan the Bonfire Setup

A beach bonfire is the perfect backdrop for a proposal. Here’s how to get it just right:

  • Book with 30A Blaze Beach Bonfires: For an unforgettable bonfire experience, consider booking with 30A Blaze. They offer complete packages, including wood, set up, and an attendant to manage the fire. We can also guide you and answer any burning questions you may have.

  • Personal Touches: Add personal touches to the bonfire area. Consider decorating with fairy lights, flowers, or your favorite photos. You could also bring a cozy blanket or some comfortable seating.

  • Timing: Arrange for the bonfire to be lit and ready before your proposal. Plan it for a time when you’ll have a beautiful sunset or starlit sky for an extra touch of magic.


3. Plan the Perfect Proposal

Now that you have your setting ready, it’s time to plan how you’ll pop the question:

  • Decide on the Moment: Think about when you’ll propose. You might want to wait until the bonfire is lit or perhaps during a quiet moment under the stars.

  • Choose Your Words: Plan what you’ll say. Speak from the heart and let your feelings guide you. It doesn’t need to be elaborate—just sincere.

  • Capture the Moment: Consider having a photographer or videographer capture the moment. If that’s not possible, set up a camera on a tripod to record the proposal.


4. Prepare for the Unexpected

Things might not always go as planned, so it’s good to be prepared:

  • Have a Backup Plan: Check the weather forecast. If there’s a chance of rain, have a backup plan ready. You could consider a nearby beach pavilion or another covered location.

  • Pack Essentials: Bring along any essentials you might need, such as extra blankets, a flashlight, and some snacks or drinks to enjoy after the proposal.


5. Celebrate the Moment

After the proposal, celebrate this special occasion with a little extra:

  • Toast to the Future: Bring a bottle of champagne or your favorite drink to toast to your future together. It’s a great way to celebrate and enjoy the moment. Walton county does not allow any glass on the beach, so plan accordingly.

  • Share the News: Consider sharing the news with family and friends. You might want to call or video chat with loved ones to share the excitement.

6. Enjoy the Rest of Your Evening

Make the most of your special night:

  • Relax by the Fire: Spend time relaxing by the bonfire. Enjoy the warmth, the stars, and each other’s company.

  • Plan a Special Dinner: After the bonfire, you might want to plan a special dinner at one of the local restaurants. The Red Bar in Grayton Beach is a great option for a celebratory meal.
