Experience Waterfront Dining

Luckily, many local restaurants take advantage of their beautiful location and water views! Here are five different restaurants on the Island that are great for every occasion, whether you're looking for a casual lunch or an elegant dinner!

Located at the end of the Front Beach district lies the Windjammer, a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Cool off from the beach with one of their several specialty drinks, and enjoy live music (at least one concert every week!) or sand volleyball during the day. This restaurant features direct beach access from its outdoor seating, and its menu is centered around classic bar foods like wings, sandwiches, and fish and chips.

Coconut Joe's is our go-to for food and drink on the Island, perfect for grabbing a meal before you head to the beach or on your way home. This restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating and provides full meals if you're looking for something a little more filling. If you're in a hurry, Island Joe's is right in front for walk-up service and a menu of burgers, sandwiches, and coffee (you can even order online!) With all of the different options, this is a great spot for the whole family!
