Fenix Beach Club

About Fenix Beach Club

Seafood leads the kitchen here, worked through Spanish and Peruvian technique — the kind of long, table-service lunch that stretches from a ceviche and a bottle into the late afternoon without anyone suggesting you move. Daybeds are the unit of currency, claimed early on Saturdays and Sundays when the boats from Cartagena bring the weekend crowd across to Tierra Bomba, largely couples and groups of tourists with a strong South American contingent in the 25 to 45 range. The music stays deliberately low-slung: deep house and lounge-leaning chill house through the middle of the day, Latin threading in as the sun drops. Beachwear is the whole dress code, and at a $$ band it costs less than its polish suggests. The season runs April through October, and a 4.4 rating across some 2,400 reviews suggests the operation holds up on busy days.
