Parking is the first thing that comes to mind when heading to the Oceanfront. We have lots of options within walking distance, which you’ll find detailed on our Find Us page

Pro tip: share the Find Us link in your party invitation and your guests will be instantly relieved !

You can find our hours on google maps, yelp, or at the bottom of every page on our website (try it with this one, scroll all the way to the bottom!)

If you’re planning a party of 20+ guests for a time outside of our regular business hours, submit a request! We can be pretty flexible

Shuffleboard courts rent for $35/hour/court and bocce ball rents for $15/hour/court

The cost of a party of 20 or more is made up of 3 parts: rental (courts, half/full rental), food, and beverage

You’ll see a guide for rental, food and beverage pricing based on your party size here.

Once you submit the form on our website and make a food and beverage selection, we’ll be able to send you a no-strings-attached proposal so you get an idea of the full cost
