Formerly known as the Turtle Beach Bar & Grill, the Beach House restaurant was completely refurbished and re-opened in May 2008. The Beach House retains the former restaurant’s original Colonial-style structure and authentic Caribbean-island ambiance beneath swaying trees and flowing draperies. Crisp whites and blues dot the interior of this open-air restaurant, which offers ample room for dining or lounging in rich, comfortable seating and a large central bar.  Lanterns lit at dusk create an unforgettably romantic evening setting.
