Dining in Destin
Waterfront Bar & Grill
The Other End
A craft beer garden overlooking Destin Harbor with an ever-changing tap list, fresh local catch, and some of the best burgers in town. The sunsets from the deck are worth the trip on their own.

Harborside Seafood
Dewey Destin's Harborside
A Destin institution since 1979. The menu is built around whatever came off the boats that morning, and the dockside tables fill up fast. Go early or expect a wait.

Seafood & Oyster House
Boshamps Seafood & Oyster House
Right on the harbor with a raw bar, cold oysters, and a full seafood menu. The covered deck keeps things comfortable even in summer, and the live music most nights makes it easy to stay for another round.

Mexican & Seafood
Crab Island Cantina
Mexican food and Gulf seafood in one menu, with a lively outdoor patio and frozen drinks that hold up in the heat. A good pick for groups who can't agree on what they want.

Casual Beach Dining
Fudpucker's Beachside Bar & Grill
The most casual spot on the list, and one of the most popular. Burgers, sandwiches, and cold drinks steps from the sand. Kids love the alligator shows out back.

Fresh Catch Daily
Harbor Docks
One of Destin's oldest seafood restaurants, still running on the same idea: buy directly from local fishermen and cook it simply. The sushi bar is a surprise worth knowing about.
