While fires are not allowed on most New Jersey beaches, Asbury Park hosts beloved beach bonfires each summer. The season has already started, and I can’t wait to hit the shore.

The bonfires start at 7 p.m. on Fridays in May and June, 8 p.m. on Wednesdays in July and August, and 7 p.m. on Fridays in September. Here’s the schedule:
