Description: Located off Coast Highway at the end of a narrow road sits the Beach House. Housed in a delightful 1920s beachfront cottage, which once belonged to Hollywood film star Slim Summerville who appeared in such films as Jesse James and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, the Beach House is the quintessential seaside restaurant. The dining room, with its bank of windows, offers a delightful backdrop for enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But some of the best tables are the handful along the narrow outside deck, which have breathtaking views of the ocean. Signature dishes include blackened ahi salad, lobster quesadilla, macadamia crusted mahi mahi, and a lobster clubhouse sandwich. Breakfast items include seafood crepes and a crab, avocado, and lobster omelet, and a weekend brunch offers an even more extensive menu.
