    The Beacon did not get its lease renewed with the forestry service therefore it closed. However, since then a new lease was granted and the restaurant/bar is now called The Grove. Same staff and ambience. This place has great views, right on the beach with live music outside on most summer weekends. The Rum Runners are their signature drink, handed down from The Beacon with a slight adjustment (for proprietary reasons). A bit pricey but just keep looking at the gorgeous view while drinking rum runners and eating calamari! Btw, great versatile menu too. Enjoy!

    I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful place about a year ago, and I'm finally taking the time to share my experience. The food may be simple, but it's incredibly tasty. What truly won me over was the ambiance and the captivating view from the window. After enjoying a delightful brunch, we strolled along the beach right in front of the restaurant. The views were nothing short of breathtaking! In just a week, I'll be returning to this gem, and I'm bringing a bunch of friends along. I can't wait to see how their experience unfolds!

    Great location and beautiful scenery. The rum runner drinks are yummy & strong. The food is standard bar food, service was nice.
