This is an excellent example of haiku. I don't write haiku. I tried once and the syllable counters came down on me hard. I never went back. It's too much work.

Ahhhhh...warm memories indeed, Anonymous Poet.
Your 3/8/4 syllable count comes in at just 15, well below the limits of 17 syllables, or less, stipulated by the form.
Your kigo, or seasonal reference, may be late fall or early spring if it is cool enough to start a fire.
Your haiku is written in present tense--a moment in nature, captured in time--and your kigo is insightful creating a "warm and fuzzy" feeling.
Excellent work, great haiku.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

Challenging, but accomplished piece despite the limitations a haiku allows for the writer. I liked how you incorporated, and utilized each word to the topic in focus: the beach, bonfire, and warm memories. This is a main contributor in a quality haiku, and you accomplished it. Well done!
