SAL DE MAR: A Little Slice of Paradise on Pensacola Beach
This summer will mark the first full season for the newly renovated Sal de Mar Beachside Bar, located at Hilton Pensacola Beach.
With a vision to create a true resort bar that offers a genuine experience for both hotel guests and locals, the establishment has undergone a complete transformation, embracing the coastal vernacular style to enhance its charm.
The design behind Sal de Mar reflects a commitment to authenticity and a connection with the surrounding environment. The use of natural materials, reminiscent of the coastal landscape, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere that invites patrons to unwind and savor the coastal vibes. The dynamic, curved roof is truly something to behold and is something guests surely will not forget. In addition to the architectural details, Sal de Mar now boasts their own kitchen, which will allow for faster food service for guests at the bar and Hilton pool deck.
One of the standout features of its new design is its automatic solar shades, which lower from the structure sides to shield guests from the intense sun, as it sets over the Gulf of Mexico. This thoughtful addition allows patrons to enjoy the breathtaking views without compromising their comfort, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a long day at the beach or pool.
Sal de Mar takes pride in offering a diverse menu that caters to both adults and kids, ensuring that every member of the family can indulge in something delectable. The Beach Club, stacked with ham, turkey, Swiss, cheddar, and bacon, promises to be a crowd-pleaser for those seeking a hearty and satisfying lunch. The Sal de Mar Nachos, an ever-popular choice, are a culinary spectacle – an oversized serving that demands to be shared and is sure to make a splash with families.
For those with a penchant for Mexican flavors, the Quesadillas and Sal de Mar tacos, which you can order with your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp, provide a mouthwatering taste of the coast. The kitchen at Sal de Mar has curated a delightful kids’ menu, ensuring the younger guests have a range of scrumptious options to enjoy as well. With fun names like, “I Don’t Know” for the three piece chicken tenders and the “Gross Not That” for the cheeseburger you’re sure to have a little chuckle as you order your kid’s food.
However, the culinary delights don’t stop at the food. Sal de Mar’s drink menu is equally impressive, featuring signature rum buckets, refreshing daiquiris with eight flavor choices, and a special cocktail section for the tequila aficionado. Their carefully crafted libations complement the laid-back atmosphere, adding to the overall experience of the new Sal de Mar.
Terry Branch, General Manager of Hilton Pensacola Beach, has been eagerly anticipating Sal de Mar’s reopening. “The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the scent of saltwater is in the air – it can only mean one thing, Sal De Mar Beachside Bar is officially reopening its doors for the season. We are thrilled to welcome you back to our little slice of paradise after a cozy winter break,” says Terry.
Sal de Mar Beachside Bar is a destination where guests can immerse themselves in the coastal lifestyle. Whether you’re a hotel guest looking for a convenient and delightful dining and drink option or a local seeking a new hotspot to unwind, Sal de Mar promises a genuine and memorable experience. This season, make it a point to discover the allure of Sal de Mar – where the beach meets a true resort bar experience.
