ABOUT THE CULTURAL CENTER
Opened in 2001 to unanimous praise
and gratitude from the community,
the Cultural Center was built and is
entirely supported by the generosity
of Ocean Reef Club members. It is an
independent facility totally funded
by private donations and is a 501c(3)
corporation. The Center’s gracious
architecture is home to a 300 seat
theater, a library, a museum, meeting
rooms, a courtyard, Compass Dining
Room and new in 2021, large concerts
which are held outdoors on the
grounds.
The Compass Room is used for preperformance dinners, lectures, and
private events.
The Cultural Center Library is home
to the top “best seller” books and a
nice quiet place to read.
The Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art
theater presents live performances,
motion pictures, live simulcasts of the
Metropolitan Operas, and thought
provoking lectures.
A 900 square foot museum
chronicling Ocean Reef’s history
and offering self-guided tours is
a “must-see” for all guests visiting
Ocean Reef. Located on the Center’s
property, circa 1947 – 1951, is one of
the original free-standing motel units
used for the visiting yachtsmen. It
has been declared a “Historical and
Cultural Landmark” by the Monroe
County Board of Commissioners and
is available to tour.
