Low Risk

Public records show 16 inspections at Racing North Turn Beach Bar and Grill stretching back to 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 21, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around 16 violations to closer to one violation per visit.

Looking across the full record, “raw animal food stored over/not properly separated” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.

Compared to the broader Ponce Inlet restaurant scene, where the average is 67, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
