About

When you go to the Malecon area there are a few marks you have to hit for example: the view, the food and drinks, among others and this place gets them all with flying colors! Little to nothing is missed here due to the fact that is run by a couple of locals; a brother and sister who happen to be architects. This turned out to be a huge factor as to why the place has such delightful interior design, rocking a cool design by one of the main streets in Rocky Point. Accompanied by a vibe-y and chill playlist going along with its inviting menu, it will turn out to be one of the experiences you don't want to miss out while visiting Rocky Point.

Delicious, Uniquely Prepared Seafood

As mentioned before there is a checklist of props The Oktopus got down , among those besides the great food, refreshing drinks, and atmosphere, The Oktopus offers plenty of props for you and your family to sit down, relax and enjoy an evening by the beach with family or friends, no matter the occasion. The atmosphere of the place itself is tropical and relaxed, you can choose from seating in the first floor or go up to the terrace that honestly for me is the hot spot at this restaurant, you can see the nightlife around the Malecon, the palm trees and the sea in the bottom of your picture framed by beachy white door frames wide open for you, how are you treated, what you get delivered to your table, a fair price for sure and to that, you just have to be there to enjoy the view, the location makes it perfect to grab a pre-party stage of the night, grab some food and drinks and get fueled up for a fun night at the Malecón.
