There is something thrilling about cooking over an open fire at the beach.  With a little forethought you can comb the beach for driftwood, and bring some sticks, newspaper and matches to get the whole thing started. Scoop out a shallow hole and form a ring of stones around it—this will make a good resting spot for the wood. Once the fire is underway, make these  “banana boats,” which you should prepare at home before you go.
