Warm tropical breezes whispering beneath the soft sounds of the surf, the aroma of fine cuisine expertly prepared by skilled and seasoned hands wafting through the air and making its way gently to your table. The sun is setting low in the west, the first twinkling star winking from behind the orange-pink clouds floating above the beach.

You're not dreaming, you're sitting in the covered deck dining area of the exquisite Cafe on the Beach, overlooking the dunes and surf, sharing a special moment with a special someone, an experience in paradise and an adventure in coastal dining.

The Palms Resort invites you to discover a parade of coastal flavors to celebrate your visit to paradise.
