Food With A View!

Casual Eatery on the beach, the real perk is it connects to a pier, with a bar where the restaurant and pier meet! If you early enough in the day, or late enough in the evening, you can always park in the Oceanic parking lot. The parking lot is for customers only, and provides beach access! So as long as your a customer, feel free to park in the lot! We love to grab a drink at the bar on the Pier, and walk the beach! Make sure to wear sandals and walk the beach with the water up to your knees! Quite an experience! (This is our little insider tip & recommendation)
