Cap's Place, Historic restaurant in Lighthouse Point, Florida.
Cap's Place consists of five wooden buildings constructed on a beached dredging barge, with structures extending over water and connected by walkways.
Established in 1928 during Prohibition, Cap's Place operated as a restaurant and casino, becoming a significant location for rum-running activities from nearby Bimini.
The restaurant maintains its original architecture using native materials such as Cuban mahogany, bamboo, pecky cypress, and Dade County pine throughout the structures.
Guests access the restaurant via a complimentary boat shuttle service, as there is no direct parking available except for persons with disabilities.
The walls display an extensive collection of artifacts, newspaper clippings, and photographs documenting visits from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
