Patrick J O'Brien
From Cape May to St. Kitts, here are five dining destinations to take in fabulous ocean views.
Bermuda
At the
Point Restaurant & Terrace at Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa, devour caramelized sea scallops with a
vin cotto reduction or skewers of scallops and swordfish with Sicilian couscous. Up the ocean views at the resort’s Beach Club Restaurant & Bar, which offers a shaded pergola perched above a pink-sand beach.

Rusty Nail, Cape May, New Jersey
Set on a fine stretch of white-sand beach, the
Tides at The Beach Club on Kiawah Island is pure seaside elegance. Consulting chef Tom Colicchio and executive chef Doug Blair created a menu with hearty cuisine (think herb-roasted chicken, steaks, and an ever-changing roster of seafood) served alongside stunning Atlantic views.

Cape May, New Jersey
Spend a sand-between-your-toes happy hour at Cape May’s
Rusty Nail, where you can grab a bucket of conch fritters and oval-shaped crab cakes (chef Jimmy Burton’s signature shape and recipe; pictured below) as poodles donning sunglasses soak up rays and live musicians perform from inside an old boat.

The Beach House is part of Christophe Harbour, a new 2,500-acre development which will include an 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course, a 300-slip marina, and the gorgeous Beach Club at Sandy Bank.
