New Kids In Town

Hello from the Beaulieu family — Andrea (Mom), Micah (Dad), Austin (Son), and London (Daughter)! We’re thrilled to welcome you to Fire & Tide, where every bonfire sparks unforgettable memories along the beautiful 30A coastline.

Our journey here? It's a bit wild — and a whole lot of "spur-of-the-moment." Nearly 20 years ago, Andrea and Micah met as horticulture students at the University of Maine. Life took an adventurous turn when a chance to manage a private island in the Exumas popped up. So, naturally, we packed our bags and headed south. Island life meant days running a marina and nights gathered around beach bonfires with boaters sharing stories over potluck dinners.

Maine eventually called us back for a few more adventures, including getting married, road-tripping across the state, and raising Austin and London while launching businesses (coffee roasting for Micah and a design agency for Andrea). When COVID hit, we took the off-grid plunge, living in a tiny cabin on a lake in Northern Maine, homeschooling the kids, cooking over an open fire, and embracing the simple joys of nature. But as much as we loved our rugged roots, Maine winters were just too cold — we craved warmth, sand, and sunshine.

Cue another spontaneous leap: Moving to 30A without ever visiting. Yep, we packed the kids, the dogs, and a U-Haul and drove straight to paradise! Since then, we’ve built a tiny home, explored every inch of the stunning coastline, and realized that nothing beats gathering around a fire with friends and family under a starry sky.

That’s why we created Fire & Tide — not just a bonfire business but a lifestyle rooted in connection, warmth, and community. We bring together our Maine-grown love for the outdoors and island-inspired vibes to craft bonfire experiences unlike any other. Whether you’re here for a romantic sunset evening or a fun-filled family night, we hope to create moments you'll remember forever.

Thanks for letting us share a piece of our story — we can't wait to be part of yours! 🌊🔥
