Line Cook

The heritage of The Beach Club dates back to 1941 when Jack Mitchell, who was prominently identified with Palm Beach life, built the Coral Beach Club on our present site spanning 300 ft directly on the Atlantic Ocean. In 1969, the club was reorganized as a private entity, redesigned by famed architect John Volk, and opened again in 1970. Today, after multiple major renovations, the 70,000 sq ft facility boasts some of the most stunning and magnificent indoor and outdoor venues in Palm Beach.
