Even locals have been known to frequent the Fishtails Beach Bar for dining and dancing or the Sandtrap Lounge & Sports Bar. Both have a running calendar of planned activities or drink specials to help draw a crowd.While Bay Watch does cater to group meetings, the resort is large enough that you don’t feel like you are intruded upon by large gatherings.
