When you're ready, we can't wait to welcome you back to The Classic Coast! Rest assured, local restaurants, shops and business are doing everything they can to ensure the safety of all. This includes wearing mandatory face coverings, following guidelines put in place by health and government officials, and implementing stringent cleaning practices.
All we ask when you land on these shores is that you play your part in keeping everyone safe: Please be kind, wear a mask, wash your hands and maintain six feet of social distancing from others. When planning to visit a local restaurant or venue, we ask that you please check their website for updates on new hours, regulations and to confirm if reservations are required.
Remember: No matter where you plan to dine, face coverings are required while waiting for your reservation/table; on your way to and from your table and if you leave your table to use the restrooms.
