Best Beach Bars for Boaters

What better way to top off a day of fishing than to dock at a restaurant and hand your catch over to the chef? Here's our favorite picks for the best seafood spots...right on the water.

1. Sparky's Landing
Marathon 

Located smack dab in the middle of the Florida Keys near Marathon's best fishing spots, Sparky's Landing has an awesome cook that turns tuna, snapper and permit into a freuben (fish Reuben), a scrumptious creation of fried fish, Swiss and slaw on Rye.

2. Bimini Boatyard 
Fort Lauderdale 

Pleasure boaters will find slips on a first-come-first-served basis at Bimini Boatyard. The decor is boathouse chic in seafaring blue and white. Try the Bahama Mama, a Bimini rum classic that pairs well with Bahamian conch fritters. 

3. Peg Leg Pete's
Pensacola Beach

On Pensacola Beach's Little Sabine Bay, true sailors tie up at Peg Leg Pete's. This beach shack is covered with rusty license plates, but the best reason to come here is for oysters and a cold beer.
