End Of An Era: Last Weekend For Atlantic Beach Club Is Here

Atlantic Beach Club, an Aquidneck Island institution since the late 1920’s, will see an end to its long and storied journey come January 1st, 2016.

After almost 90 years of being in operation, it was announced on February 19th that LONGWOOD would be purchasing the Atlantic Beach Club and opening it as a new waterfront wedding venue, the Newport Beach House, in 2016.

This is Longwood’s second venue in Newport, following the success of Belle Mer, which opened in 2006 and was named one of best venues in America for 2015.

While design work is already underway, the renovation and conversion of the iconic property will begin in early 2016. LONGWOOD will take over operations of the property in January, 2016.

New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day

On New Year’s Eve, the Dining room will be serving up regular menu from 4pm – 10pm. Lounge will serve up two seatings (6pm & 8:30pm), followed by live music from Mac Chrucala Band.

The Atlantic Beach Club will host their annual New Year’s Day Party following the Polar Bear Plunge. This event usually includes live music and promises to be a lot of fun.
