Where it is

Get directions

Ocean Lounge Hilton Head is the upstairs room at the Sea Pines Beach Club, one floor above Coast. Where Coast is the all-day seafood restaurant with a beach bar, the Ocean Lounge is the grown-up version: 21 and over, dinner and drinks, and the ocean out the windows and off the second-floor patio.

Ocean Lounge Menu

Ocean Lounge is open for dinner. The menu centers on American food, with fine-dining prices.

Searched for as Ocean Lounge Sea Pines or the Sea Pines Beach Club Ocean Lounge, it is run by The Sea Pines Resort. It opens in the late afternoon, which makes it a sunset stop as much as a dinner one.

What the Ocean Lounge Serves

The food is shareable plates and a catch of the day, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. The bar is the draw: the resort lists more than three dozen bourbons, plus cognacs, ryes, single malt scotches, tequilas and mezcals. The full Ocean Lounge menu, with prices, is above.

Dress Code, Age and Reservations

The Ocean Lounge is for guests 21 and older, and there is no kids menu; families eat downstairs at Coast. The resort asks for resort casual or dinner wear, and swimsuits, beach cover-ups and athletic wear are not allowed, so come from the beach by way of a change of clothes. Reservations are recommended but not required; the resort takes them through Resy or by phone at 843-842-1888.

Getting There

The Beach Club is at 87 North Sea Pines Drive, inside the gate. Visitors not staying in Sea Pines pay the gate fee, $10 per day for a standard car. For other places to eat, see Sea Pines restaurants.

What diners say

Reviewers name the blackened flounder, the lobster mac and cheese and the jerk chicken, and the ocean views come up almost as often as the food. The room is described as classy but comfortable and the prices as reasonable. No recurring complaint appears.
