Things you 

should know about us



We allow dogs inside, outside, every side. If you have a dog we want to see them just as much as we want to see you! We even offer a special doggie menu! *Dogs must be on leash

Unfortunately, we no longer offer fishing from the pier since the end of the pier is closed for expected repairs.

We offer private fire pits for parties, events, and just because. They’re so popular we’re booked out for the 2024 season. If you’re interested in booking a fire pit in 2025 please contact us for more information by emailing us at [email protected]

We love celebrating you, a holiday, and everything in between. This is why you can expect special events from us that you can’t get anywhere else including, a beachfront pumpkin patch, naughty bingo, private engagement parties, and so much more. Follow along for upcoming events.

Did we mention we like to party? We like to host unique events depending on the time of year. Whether it’s our holiday pop up, or a party celebrating the full moon, we always have a reason to throw a party. View our upcoming events.

Parking is reserved exclusively for our guests while dining with us. Our private lot is conveniently located adjacent to the pier house, accessible via the driveway behind it. Planning a beach day? There are nearby town lots offering paid parking for beach visits.
