Where Caribbean Vibes + Cali Bites Collide

Graze & SipWe keep it light and fresh out here on the beach, with the kind of cravable dishes and drinks you want poolside — think flavorful ceviche, veggie skewers, and brightly colored salads with refreshing spirit-free spritzes, fruit-forward cocktails, and glasses of bubbly. 

GET THE PARTY STARTEDYour beachfront hub for fun in the sun, Sea Cat always has something going on — including these special events. 

About our Beach barPicture the perfect beach bar — what do you see? A patch of sand that stretches toward impossibly blue waters, flawlessly framing the sunset? Maybe a set of comfy cabanas for shaded lounging? How about an array of colorful frozen drinks that are flavored with house-made infusions, accompanied by a menu of light bites that are just right for leisurely grazing? Now make your way to Sea Cat, where the beach bar of your dreams is a reality. Spend the day with us, and you’ll find we’re just as fun and playful as our namesake sea creature, the octopus.
