“It is with a heavy heart and mixed emotions that we announce the closing of Salt Jax Beach,” ownership said in an announcement made on social media. “After 13+ incredible years filled with unforgettable memories, laughter, and countless sunsets, we have decided to close our doors.”

The reason: the new owners plan on turning the property into a hotel.

“Thank you for being a part of our story,” SALT said. “We couldn’t have asked for a better community to share these years with, and we look forward to celebrating with you one last time.”
