There is usually a beach BBQ scheduled for Saturday evenings and during peak times there may be a second BBQ. Any beach BBQ will be subject to the weather. There are 1/2 hour seatings from 6:30pm to 9:00pm. The only way to know for sure is to check with your guest services kiosk in the lobby. The BBQ DOES count as one of your a la carte reservations. Tables and chairs for a varied number of diners are set up on the beach terrace near the main pool. There is waiter service for wine and dress is causal. Food is grilled outside and served buffet style. The menu consists mostly of grilled food - ribs, chicken, steak, sausage, burgers, hot dogs, etc., along with an assortment of vegetables. There's also a salad bar, various breads/rolls, and fruits for dessert. There is something for everyone. One hint, if you want to observe a nice sunset while dining you may want to get an earler sitting.
