The fish and chips are excellent. So is the grilled fish sandwich if you are looking for a slightly healthier option. Kids meals are often served on a frisbee. Lunch specials are available and if you are down for an early dinner, they offer a discounted dinner special on their fish and chips between 4 and 6pm

Delicious food, but a tad bit higher priced than Floyd’s (and similar menu). The balcony has a great view of the beach and ocean. Kid’s meals often come with a bucket and shovel.

Sightseeing

Great restaurant selection as well as fishing from the pier. They have weekly activities such as free movies on the beach, fireworks, hula dancing shows, and live music. There is a playground and splash pad area for kids. We recommend walking. It’s only a 15 minute walk along the beach (It will take you just as long to drive there and find parking during the busier season)

The shallow water is the perfect depth for wading or floating next to your boat while enjoying the tropical atmosphere reminiscent of the Caribbean.

Groceries

Easy access grocery shopping that also has delivery options via Instacart. I find using this very helpful when arriving at the beach, or when we need a quick and easy meal for lunch or dinner.

Just a short distance further down the road after Publix. There is a nice playground in the middle of the parking lot if you want to leave the kids and an adult out in the sun while you shop. Winn Dixie offers delivery through Shipt; you can order online and have your groceries delivered right to your door.

There are 2 Targets nearby, Mary Esther and Destin. The Mary Esther target is likely quicker to drive to during the summer as traffic towards Destin increases. Otherwise they are both about equally close.
