Bonfire on Steps Beach

Late yesterday afternoon, Thanksgiving day, we Lemontreers decided to take a drive over to Steps Beach to watch the sunset. Rincon is famous for sunsets and Steps Beach is considered to be one of the best places to watch the sun set as water cascades up on beach and swirls around the concrete steps that have given the beach its name.

We hadn't been there long when these folks showed up and started collecting palm fronds, dead wood and cracking bamboo poles to create a huge bonfire pile.
And as we watched, the pile grew and grew as they found more and more dead wood and bamboo to add to the pile. They had a lot of energy and excitment about the prospect of the bonfire and it showed in their rising pile.


As the sun began to set, they finished up, congratulated themselves and headed home to get their hotdogs and marshmallows and favorite beverages. We were treated to a spectacular sunset behind the "Steps" of Steps Beach and even saw the famous green flash as the sun set in the west. What a spectacular way to end a Thanksgiving day here in our little bit of paradise.
