Morada Bay, Islamorada

In 1988, our owner discovered an overgrown and abused 20-acre tract of land on the Atlantic Ocean and he fought overzealous developers in their scheme to erect a 200-unit condominium complex. Two years later, he acquired the property and transformed it into a picturesque, environmentally friendly South Seas style resort called The Moorings Village. In March 1997, the Morada Bay Beach CafA(C) opened, offering guests a beautiful sunset view from bayside tables, a casual surfing and sailboard interior and an eclectic bistro style menu. Created to evoke the feel of a beach cafA(C) where the Hawaiian and Californian surfers and sailboarders would relax after a day on the water, The CafA(C) is an outdoor Mediterranean bistro set in the sand, with inside and outside bars, unique live entertainment, a large child-friendly beach with giant Adirondack chairs, and renowned Full-Moon Parties every month.
