The Beach Is Part of the Story.
Search for Point Lookout restaurants and the story begins with the place itself: the beach, the inlet, the bay, and the narrow stretch of land between them.
The Buoy Bar belongs to that geography. It is a Point Lookout restaurant shaped by the water — a place people find after the beach, after a day on the boat, or as the sun begins to drop over Reynolds Channel.
