This outdoor fire pit for a private beach house on the Oregon Coast was designed to feel like a beachside bonfire. The spot features no fancy patio or landscaping. Just a sandy area surround by the natural hill sloping down to the Pacific Ocean below. The reclaimed timber beams give a sense of sitting on log, yet comfortably with their carved out seats. And the massive iron fire bowl can hold a lot of logs to really get your marshmallows roasting.
