    We chose Beach as our wedding venue and so glad we did. We could not have asked for a better day. It felt intimate and relaxed.

    We just had the most amazing lunch at Beach. The food was sublime. Oysters, octopus and fish both raw and cooked. Every bite made better by the amazing view of the bay from our table. Thanks for a fabulous experience!
