Ocean Edge Resort has unveiled its highly anticipated Beach Bar dining experience, offering guests a perfect blend of coastal cuisine and breathtaking views. This intimate 32-seat venue has quickly become a highlight of the resort’s culinary offerings. The Beach Bar provides diners with unobstructed panoramic views that stretch all the way to Provincetown on clear days, creating a beautiful backdrop for casual oceanfront dining.
A Sunset-Driven Dining Experience at the Beach Bar
The beachfront eatery operates daily from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM, strategically timing its service to capture Cape Cod’s legendary sunsets. Resort officials have designed the Beach Bar as a destination where guests can escape the ordinary while savoring regionally inspired food and beverages. “We wanted to create a space where visitors could truly relax and connect with Cape Cod’s natural beauty while enjoying exceptional food and drinks,” explained the resort’s food and beverage director. “The Beach Bar delivers on that promise with every sunset and every bite.”
Located to maximize the natural beauty of Cape Cod Bay, the Beach Bar offers a dining experience that engages all the senses. Guests can watch as the sun dips below the horizon in a spectacular display of colors while enjoying the gentle ocean breeze and the sound of waves lapping against the shore. This picturesque setting has quickly earned the venue a reputation as the perfect spot for romantic evenings, casual get-togethers with friends, or a peaceful solo retreat after a day of Cape Cod adventures.
Celebrating Cape Cod Flavors With Every Bite
The culinary team at Ocean Edge Resort has crafted a menu that celebrates the region’s rich maritime heritage while incorporating contemporary coastal cuisine trends. Executive Chef Thomas Downing emphasizes the use of locally sourced ingredients throughout the menu, from fresh-caught seafood to regional produce. “Our goal was to create dishes that feel authentically Cape Cod,” notes Downing. “We want each bite to evoke the essence of this special place, complementing the incredible views our guests enjoy while dining with us.”
The Beach Bar’s diverse menu showcases the best of New England’s coastal bounty, with standout seafood offerings taking center stage. Guests can enjoy the quintessential New England lobster roll, available in both 4-oz and 8-oz portions, featuring succulent Maine lobster salad in a perfectly grilled buttered roll. Other local favorites include a generous portion of fried clams served with cole slaw and French fries, crispy fish and chips featuring fresh cod bites, and a popcorn shrimp basket that delivers authentic Cape Cod flavor with every bite.
For those seeking lighter options, the Beach Bar offers an impressive selection of fresh salads, sandwiches, and shareable plates. The Ocean Edge Chicken Salad combines tender chicken with artisan greens, while the Beach Bar Garden Salad provides a refreshing vegetarian option with crumbled feta cheese.
Sandwich offerings include a classic beach burger, a grilled chicken sandwich with basil pesto, and a hearty bean and quinoa veggie burger. The bar’s beverage program is equally impressive, featuring frozen concoctions like the Pina Colada made with Real McCoy 3-year rum, craft cocktails such as the Cape Cod Mojito with Nantucket Distilleries Cranberry Vodka, and a carefully selected wine list including the resort’s own Ocean Edge Chardonnay and Rosé.
Fresh, Flavorful, and Thoughtfully Balanced Options
The Beach Bar’s cocktail program has been thoughtfully designed to complement the oceanfront dining experience while showcasing regional spirits and fresh ingredients. Signature creations like “Jeff’s Pain Killer” – a tropical blend of Goslings Rum, cream of coconut, pineapple, and orange, topped with freshly grated nutmeg – transport guests to an island state of mind.
The “Beach Front Smash” combines Hanson Lemon Vodka with pineapple, strawberries, and lemon for a refreshing accompaniment to warm summer evenings. At the same time, the “El Diablo Spicy Margarita” offers a kick of Calabrian chili for those seeking something with a bit more heat.
The carefully curated beverage selection extends beyond cocktails to include local draft beers from Devils Purse and Hog Island breweries, canned craft options, seltzers, and ciders. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse by-the-glass offerings, which range from crisp Italian Pinot Grigio to rich Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
The resort has ensured that every aspect of the dining experience – from the first sip to the last bite – captures the relaxed sophistication while providing the exceptional quality that Ocean Edge Resort guests have come to expect. As one recent visitor commented, “Watching the sunset with a Cape Cod Mojito in hand and a lobster roll on my plate – it doesn’t get more perfectly Cape Cod than that.”
