Upstairs at the White Sands Oceanfront resort and spa is the exquisite La Vela Beach Cafe. This is not your average hotel breakfast, lunch and dinner spot.

My husband and two children ate lunch here while on vacation in Point Pleasant Beach. Everyone absolutely loved their meals. My husband enjoyed his gnocchi (deliciously creamy sauce) and I loved my chicken panini with basil pesto. It was warm and Devine.
