The Compass Room is used for pre-performance dinners,
lectures, and private events.
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 are held outdoors on the grounds.
The Cultural Center
Library is home to
the top “best seller”
books and a nice
quiet place to read.
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.
The Cultural Center’s state-of-the-art theater presents live
performances, motion pictures, live simulcasts of the Metropolitan Operas, to thought provoking lectures.
