Havana Beach Rooftop
Old Florida Fish House
Boats sailing past , waves crashing against the shore , a brilliant orange and purple sunset reflecting in deep blue water — and delicious food . Almost nothing pairs better with a beach vacation than dinner with a view .
Of all the questions locals hear , “ Where ’ s a good place to eat with a view of the water ?” is the most common . So , we did our best to round up waterfront and water-view restaurants that are beloved from 30A to Destin .
30A WATER VIEWS
Pescado Rooftop Bar and Seafood Grill
With its cobblestone streets and gas streetlamps , Rosemary Beach offers romantic charm like no other 30A beach community . And now , you can add even more romance by dining at Pescado ’ s Rooftop Bar and Seafood Grill . Enjoy views of the Gulf and the roofscapes of this unforgettable New Urbanist community while enjoying fresh seafood and daily specials .
You must be 18 years or older to enter , but all ages are welcome for lunch and Sunday brunch .
Havana Beach Rooftop
Across the way from Pescado is The Pearl ’ s rooftop restaurant — Havana Beach Rooftop . Enjoy communal tables with a menu centered around shared-plate dining and stunning views of the Gulf . When the stars come out , two firepits help keep guests warm .
Crabby Steve ’ s Gulfside Bar & Grill
Shhh … Crabby Steves is a bit of a local secret for a good reason : you can only reach it on foot ( unless you ’ re staying at High Pointe Resort ). Located at the top of a dune walkover , it doesn ’ t get much more scenic than Crabby Steve ’ s Gulfside Grill . After walking along the beach to reach it , reward yourself with a cocktail , a delicious fish sandwich , and some spicy tuna dip .
Old Florida Fish House
What can you expect at Old Florida Fish House ? How about oysters , fresh fish , a sushi bar , and gorgeous views across Eastern Lake to the Gulf ? Head outside to toast the sunset from a deck overlooking the lake , enjoy live music , or relax with a cocktail in an Adirondack chair while the kids play along the lake ’ s shore .
