While we love spending time relaxing on our famous Florida beaches, we’re even bigger fans of beachfront dining in the Sunshine State. Because, really, there’s nothing better than pairing that toes-in-the-sand experience with a good meal and a few boat drinks.
For Floridians, the beachfront restaurant options are basically innumerable. So we decided to share our list of the best, ranging from fine dining to flip-flops casual.
These are places with amazing waterfront views where you will find iconic Florida foods like grouper, Key lime pie and oysters from the Gulf – or perhaps just a great cheeseburger or a plate of superior chicken wings.

Blue Oak’s location near New Orleans’s gorgeous City Park inspired the clever “Bloak Floats Box,” a sampling of finger foods to be enjoyed during the park’s “Float in the Oaks” fundraiser that runs nightly through February 14. Floats from various Mardi Gras Krewes will be on display in the park in a sort-of reverse parade, where cars pass through the lineup to view the stationary floats. Blue Oak’s snack box, also available through the 14th, includes nachos, eight chicken nuggets, spicy chicken on a stick, and four mac and cheese balls for $30, packaged up in an easy-to-balance cardboard box.
