La Ola Surfside Restaurant Staff

Hello, my name is Thomas Houghton. I am the owner of La Ola Surfside Restaurant. Hurricane Ian destroyed our beautiful location in Time Square, Fort Myers Beach. It is too early to say how long it will take to rebuild or at least occupy the space on the beach. I am searching for a suitable off-island location and hope that La Ola will be open off-island by the end of this season.

La Ola had twenty-one employees and seven musicians on the day of the storm. Along with losing their jobs, many have lost their homes and belongings. Please help them with your donations during this time of dire need. I promise to do everything in my power to reopen La Ola so we all can be together again!
