Went to a welcome party here and it definitely felt like an event, not just a casual beach hang. The setup had this vintage Mediterranean feel — striped umbrellas, mismatched bistro chairs, weathered tables — like something out of a 70s travel postcard. It all came together in a way that felt thoughtful but still relaxed. The setting by the ocean added to the vibe, but it was really the aesthetic that made it feel special. Super cool spot for a kickoff gathering.
