Sea Side

With the laid-back nature of Montauk and the happening beach club–style of nearby Mykonos, Sea Side is a cool restaurant-bar-hangout on Perivolos beach. The alfresco lounge, located on a stretch of black sand beach, hums to the beat of the DJ and has an elevated beach chic aesthetic, with low-slung wicker chairs, vibrant glassware and posh black-and-white–striped recliners. The restaurant serves scrumptious fare including crispy honey garlic salmon with noodles, tuna tartar, moussaka and chicken schnitzel, as well as items from the sushi bar. The beverage service includes a large selection of fresh juices and cocktails, both of which can be enjoyed cabana-side.

The beach area is filled with sun chairs, but the best pieces of real estate are the waterfront pavilions that look directly onto the water. While most patrons are content to relax, read and swim, Sea Side can also arrange water sports, or guests can indulge further at the boutique and spa, which offers massages, facials and reflexology treatments.

Note: It is highly recommended to make cabana reservations in advance. The cabanas by the water are the best and book up.
