Outdoor Seating

The outdoor seating offers gorgeous views of the water from a spacious deck. There are fans but no overhead shade so make sure you have on sunscreen and a hat.

I say this from experience sitting outside soaking in the sun when we first move to the Gulf Coast and then waking up the next morning with a hot pink back and neck.
