This project will be a centrepiece of the $35 million redevelopment of Currie Park in West Palm Beach along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Sea Salt Beach House will accommodate approximately 378 seats. The establishment is envisioned as a [modern coastal destination](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachside-hotel-1) featuring indoor dining, covered terraces, and open-air seating. The concept will be complemented by a 320-seat rooftop event space suitable for weddings, community celebrations, and civic functions. For this project, Breakwater Hospitality Group will also collaborate with "award-winning Bigtime Design Studios, best known for creating high-concept, high-style public space environments." Beyond the restaurant itself, the concept incorporates expanded public park activations, including a family play area, a grab-and-go kiosk, and year-round programming such as fitness classes, pop-up markets, live entertainment, and seasonal community events.
