The Menu
Offering a menu that is as unpretentious as the establishment, the cooks at Al’s Beach Club focus on creating burgers and sandwiches that are juicy and perfect. They don’t believe in spreading themselves thin, and they’re called a Burger Bar; why would you want to order anything else? They do provide a delicious chicken sandwich, a fresh and spicy tuna burger, and a few salads for those who prefer the lighter side of life. Also offering a children’s menu, your younger children with less adventurous palates will be able to choose from a burger (surprise!), mac & cheese, a grilled cheese sandwich, or chicken tenders; we can see the smiles on your angel’s faces from here, so can rest happy that we steered you in the right direction!
Also offering a full bar and the best daquiris in town, the best moments may be when you sit at a table facing the surf with a beer in hand, just watching the beauty that is before you—or it may be when you try one of Al’s magical milkshakes! Serving non-alcoholic shakes, including a notable key lime pie version, and adult favorites that spoil you for any other type, this sweet treat is a local favorite! Try the Maple Bacon Bourbon Shake and you may never want to go home again!
