The year of 2011 will not only bring new and exciting times at the beach, but it will also welcome a new place to gather, enjoy good food, and be in the company of those you love the most.

We are excited to announce “Mill 109 Pub” – a high-end pub eatery that will take the place of our beloved Front Street Cafe. The Cafe is now closed for renovation for several weeks.

The new “Mill 109 Pub”, with the addition of an award winning chef, custom brews, and spirits, will become the ultimate coastal culinary destination for years to come! It will offer a laid back atmosphere which will also celebrate our local lumbering heritage.

“Mill 109 Pub” will continue to cater to the surrounding communities and guests with a family friendly atmosphere. After hours, it will be the favorite destination for good music and a down home feeling that will be perfect for meeting friends and family.

In addition to the Ultimate Beach House contest that ended last week, another chance for our readers to win exciting prizes all throughout July was the Name Our Beer contest. The name of Seabrook’s Front Street Cafe’s new flagship beer was up for grabs and we decided to let you help us pick the perfect name for this delicious Pale Ale at the Cafe!

Over 200 entries were submitted and my goodness did we get some creative name suggestions. We narrowed down the top 10 and had the whole Seabrook Team vote on their favorite one. In the end, we picked a unique and exciting beer name!

Seabrook and Front Street Cafe are proud to announce the winner of the “Name Our Beer” contest – Matt Wardian of Normandy Park, WA and his idea for our beer name – “Kiteloop Pale Ale”!

Kiteloop, a term heard in the arena of kiteboarders, is when a rider loops the kite while catching some serious air. Matt, a passionate kiteboarder who spends much of his time in the waves off Seabrook’s beaches, defines kiteloop as: “A high flying, adrenaline filled, mega powered slingshot through space at the end of tightly spun kite lines. Easing back down to Earth (ocean) with a smooth satisfying splash only leaves you thirsting for more!”

Matt Wardian Kiteboarding Compilation

Matt Wardian submitted Kiteloop Pale Ale because it supports Seabrook’s wish to attract kiteboarders to its hidden coast beaches practically made for the sport! Matt (aka Mamba), currently an Art Director at Boeing, can be described as a “boardhead” having grown up on a skateboard and graduating to a surfboard during his Latin American tour as a teen. He soon added a sail to become a windsurfer and learned to snowboard to ride out the winter. Finally he discovered big kites and decided to become a surf pilot after surviving a few “kitemares”. At 54, he’s going coastal and is ready for some local flavor. As a recent transplant to Pacific Beach, he discovered an inspirational local brew at Seabrook that is an Ale of a beer. Like a great Kiteloop, Matt thinks that this beer is best when inverted and as long as he lands on his feet, he’s always ready for another!

For his winning submission, Matt will be awarded a $50 Front Street Café gift card and a Kiteloop Pale Ale t-shirt which he has volunteered to design.

A big thanks goes to everyone that submitted different ideas for our flagship Seabrook beer! We hope you like our name choice and that you will stop by the Cafe to try it soon.

If you are a big kiteboarder yourself, don’t hesitate to mention that at the Seabrook Cottage Rentals office when you check in – you may be surprised with the kind of welcome you get.

Last weekend, Seabrook was overtaken by a gloomy, spooky, and incredibly fun Halloween fever! After the trick-or-treating livened up the town, it was time for the grown-ups to dress and impress with their creative costumes! The 80’s Prom Theme turned out to be an instant hit, and we have all the pictures right here on the Seabrook Blog!

The party started at the Sales office where everyone got together for the first impressions. Hairs were flowing, neon colors were shining, and the 80’s theme seemed to have easily hit the hearts of many. (more…)

All the different colored houses and the beautiful scenery out at Seabrook have always made the town look vibrant and colorful. This weekend, however, the word colorful will be getting a whole new meaning! On Saturday, August 1st, a new business will open its doors to homeowners and visitors of all ages to spark their creativity and provide incredible amounts of fun for everyone!

Colours, a brand new pottery painting studio will start its first day of operation during the weekend, joining Front Street Cafe and Lil’s Pantry in the line of businesses that uniquely add to the Seabrook experience. The studio will have all sorts of unfinished pottery in their selection for you to choose and lots of different colors and friendly advice to help you decorate your dish according to your taste!

After you do your magic, Colours will fire and finish the piece for you so you can enjoy your creation. If you already know you will be in Seabrook, we encourage you to call Colours ahead and let them know what all you wish they have on opening day. That way you will be certain to design your favorite pottery piece! Their number is (360) 276-4321.

As Seabrook grows in size and stature, it is places like these that will enhance your experience and brighten up your day. It may even serve as a place for your kids to employ their creative sides! Nonetheless, we are certain you will enjoy this addition and go home with a new favorite dish or bowl from Seabrook.
