We're sorry, but all ticket sales have ended.

Each of the six dinner experiences begin with a boat tour of the 6-acre offshore oyster farm, with discussion and time for questions about the local ecosystem and environmental benefits of oyster farming. Following the tour, guests will enjoy an in-the-water raw bar featuring freshly harvested oysters. After the raw bar, take a walk on stunning East Beach with a view of the open Atlantic Ocean, followed by the seated multi-course dinner. Boats will return to the marina around 7:30 p.m.
