Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Beach Casual Women: Graceful summer dresses or full-length jumpsuits in light colors or floral prints are ideal. In regards to footwear, feel free to wear sandals or flats that would be easy to navigate in sand. Men: A summer suit with a light linen shirt, or linen pants with a dress shirt would work great. No ties are required and sandals are more than welcome.
