Café Amalfi’s Quick & Easy Seafood Chowder

Relaxing mornings at the beach, cooling off at Splash! Waterpark, playing a game of pickleball, then sitting down for dinner with the family is just one of the many ways you can spend a day at Kingston Resorts. While you can’t bring the waterpark home, you can bring a taste of our Myrtle Beach resort to your own kitchen with our quick and easy seafood chowder recipe. It’s one of the favorite items from the menu at Café Amalfi and a great meal idea for those days when you’re dreaming of life by the beach.
