The new Beach Bar will officially open for business on the 4th of July this Friday. A ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for 10:30 followed by live music at 11AM (Bladen) and 4PM (Dottie Kelly Band).
The old Beach Bar on I street was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. The new Beach Bar is one of the first businesses to be built from the ground up after the storm. A groundbreaking was held in October of 2024 and completion of the new building was months ahead of schedule.

The new Beach Bar was designed by Studio A.D. and built by Stevens Construction. The Beach Bar includes a walk-up bar with covered beachfront seating, retail area, storage and covered parking. The entire first floor is designed to be flexible should a storm be imminent and includes temporary cooler storage and restroom trailers, both of which can be easily relocated. Marine-grade cabinetry is also used to endure harsh coastal elements such as sunlight and saltwater exposure. Additionally, The Beach Bar is equipped with turtle-friendly glass and lighting to protect hatching sea turtles by controlling beachfront illumination.
