Beach Bonfire and Clambake Cook Out

Clambake
The traditional clambake is held on the beach, this is a great way to enjoy a bonfire. Gather plenty of seafood and prepare for a good time.

You can include:
- Lobster
- Mussels
- Crabs
- Sausage
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Whole Ears of Corn

Before going to the beach, you will need a large piece of canvas tarp. When you arrive at the beach, soak the canvas in seawater when you get to the beach. The tarp will be used to cover the food. On the day of the event you will want to start by gathering fresh seaweed. The seaweed is essential in the cooking and steaming process of the clambake. Store the seaweed in a large container with plenty of fresh seawater to keep it fresh. In addition, you will also need to gather some medium sized round stones. These stones are also a key part of the cooking process as well. Be careful not to collect wet beach stones, these have been known to explode when heated in the fire, it may be a good idea to gather your stones from a different location entirely.
