Beachside Bliss at Hotel del Coronado

Nothing beats roasting marshmallows with your toes in the sand, and The Del‘s got us covered. You’ll be lounging on one of America’s most iconic beaches, waves crashing in the background, as you toast the perfect golden marshmallow over your own private beach bonfire.

Talk about Instagram gold! Book a one-hour fire pit experience and indulge in unlimited s’mores. It’s the perfect way to cap off a day of sun, surf, and sandcastles at this historic coastal gem.

S’mores Heaven at Campfire

We’ve got to talk about Campfire in Carlsbad. This spot takes s’mores to a whole new level, folks. Imagine this: you’ve just finished an amazing meal, and then they bring out the pièce de résistance—a DIY s’mores kit right to your table.

We’re talking homemade marshmallows (yes, you read that right), premium chocolate, and graham crackers that’ll make you wonder why you ever settled for the store-bought kind.

But here’s the kicker—you get to toast those fluffy clouds of sugar over an open flame right at your table. It’s like camping but with better food and no bugs.

Just be prepared—once you’ve had Campfire’s s’mores, those packaged ones might not cut it anymore!

Elevate Your S’mores Game at Stake Chophouse & Bar

Ready to take your s’mores experience up a notch? Head over to Stake Chophouse & Bar in Coronado for their Campfire Old Fashioned. This bad boy features High West Campfire Whiskey, demerara sweetness, and chocolate bitters, with a dash of graham cracker and marshmallow magic.

It’s like sipping on a s’more, but make it classy. Pair it with one of their top-notch steaks for the ultimate indulgence.

Glamping Vibes at Rancho Bernardo Inn

Who says you need to rough it to enjoy s’mores? At Rancho Bernardo Inn, we can have our cake (er, s’more) and eat it too with their S’mores & Snores in-room camping kit. They’ll set up a cozy indoor tent, and you can grab a s’mores kit from Café Granada.

Roast your marshmallows at one of the resort’s fire pits, then retreat to your “campsite” for a night of indoor stargazing. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and luxury—our kind of camping!

Campfire Nostalgia Meets Beachside Cool at Duck Dive

Remember those summer nights around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and trying not to set your s’more on fire? Well, Duck Dive‘s bringing that nostalgia right to your table, minus the smoky clothes and mosquito bites.

Their Tableside S’mores are the talk of the town, and for good reason. Imagine yourself chilling in their laid-back lounge after a day of surfing (or let’s be real, sunbathing), and suddenly, your server appears with a tray of marshmallows, graham crackers, and good old Hershey’s bars.

But the real showstopper? A mini, covered fire right at your table. It’s like they’ve bottled up the essence of a beach bonfire and brought it indoors!
