As the sun slowly sinks in the sky, painting the horizon in brilliant pinks and golds, a fire pit, electric heaters, candles, and twinkling lights cast a warm glow over patrons dining on the outdoor patio at Boathouse at Hendry's Beach. Below, waves gently lap the shoreline, carrying the unmistakable aromas of sea spray and Spanish doubloons up into the air. Large plate windows inside the dining room line one entire wall, flooding the space with natural light and presenting guests with a clear view of the water.

Boathouse at Hendry's Beach’s chefs embrace their setting by forging a seasonally rotating menu that can include local catches, such as spiny lobster and dungeness crab. Mesquite-grilled yellowtail and panko-crusted Alaskan halibut with a pineapple-ginger salsa demonstrate the chefs' dedication to imbuing the ocean-fresh seafood with new, vibrant flavors. Beyond the maritime offerings, the menus also feature grilled steaks, roasted free-range chicken, and a selection of breakfast staples, including eggs benedict with citrus hollandaise sauce and a pair of poached eggs over dungeness-crab cakes.
