Drinks & Nightlife

You won't find a more diversely stocked beer cooler which you're encouraged to go into on your own and pick out your favorite beer or try something different! It's really nice on HOT summer nights to cool off in the beer cooler while picking out your beverage of choice and the interior and outdoor seating leave nothing to the imagination as there's much to see and do! A local cultural experience, must not miss! They sell wine, too.

Live music at the SeaWitch Cafe & Bar can be heard usually year-round from the front balcony of the Cabana Condo's. It's a nice place to go to with a crowd, bar type food but great atmosphere. Sometimes we've ordered food to go to eat on the beach!

This is one of the few places where you can pay a small fee and DRIVE your own 4-wheel vehicle ON the BEACH! Also, there are some local businesses that rent Jeeps for you to take out on this beach park. Don't forget to ask for the bonfire package where you can drive on the beach at sunset and pick out your own spot to make a bonfire!
