About
Our Beginnings: A Vision on Lake Weir!
In 1924, Jay Eaton transformed a scenic spot on Lake Weir into a lively retreat, dreaming of a "Coney Island" in Florida. Over the years, the property grew into a local treasure with boardwalks, a boathouse, and more, where memories were made and traditions began.
A New Chapter of Dining and Hospitality!
Today, Eaton’s Beach offers a Florisiana™ menu crafted by Chef Dave Del Rio, blending Southern and Louisiana flavors. Alongside beautiful views and a welcoming atmosphere, we’re proud to keep Jay Eaton’s dream alive, creating unforgettable experiences for guests old and new.
A Legacy of Family and Community
Through the decades, three families—Houser, Enos, and now the Keuntjes—each left a mark on this lakeside haven. Their commitment to preserving the spirit of Lake Weir continues, with annual traditions like the Lake Weir Marathon Swim and new updates to our beautiful venue.
