From the reviews

I had the pleasure of being DJ for a wedding at the black rock yacht club just before Christmas. I was so impressed with how nice this place was. Even though it’s small and cozy it just has a ton of maritime atmosphere. I was really really impressed With the food as well.

Getting married at Black Rock Yacht Club

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
