From the reviews
We celebrated our Anniversary at the Porch Café. It is a beautiful space with great views. We chose the Four course Wine pairing dinner. It was the best meal we've had in our last year of travels. Each course, and paired wine, was perfect. The ingredients were fresh. Perfectly balanced flavors.
It was wonderful to have a meal here at the end of a day on the beach. The atmosphere, food, & service were all on point! For me it was an unforgettable experience!
Getting married at Porch Cafe
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.
