Are you ready for a rockin’ good time?

Enjoy the easy, breezy atmosphere at our Rockin’ Lobster Beach Party as the sun sets over the Venice Fishing Pier. Kick back, relax, and indulge in all of your favorite libations in our seaside cocktail lounge.

With lobster and delectable fare from Fins at Sharky’s, scrumptious s’mores, upbeat live music, and impactful testimonials from Children First families, this exclusive beachside experience is not to be missed!
