After more than a decade on Rehoboth Avenue in downtown Rehoboth Beach, Conch Island Key West Bar and Grill has reopened in a new location in Henlopen Square off Rehoboth Avenue Extended.
The original Conch Island opened in 2010. Owner Bryan Derrickson announced in December the restaurant would relocate after the Sandcastle Motel was sold. Derrickson’s dad Don opened the motel, currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation, in the mid-1980s. The final weekend of service at the restaurant was the end of February.
The new restaurant space, 37169 Rehoboth Ave. Ext., comprises two consolidated two rental units – the former Ocn Blu location, which was Murph’s Beef and Ale before that, and the one used by paint supply specialists Ricciardi Brothers.
