Waterfront Restaurants on Pensacola Beach

Pensacola Beach Waterfront Eats & Drinks

 Shaggy’s Pensacola Beach (Pet Friendly) You catch THEY cook.

Shaggy’s is the highest rated waterfront restaurant on the beach and Taste of the Beach Winner!  It is a family and dog-friendly restaurant serving quality cuisine and loads of fun! They have incredible food and drinks, not to mention the most extensive craft beer list on Pensacola Beach, all in a fun, island-style atmosphere with water views from every seat! Shaggy’s Pensacola Beach is located on Little Sabine Bay, across from the Boardwalk, just a half-mile inside the tollbooth!  Our dolphin tour boats, Frisky Mermaid and Salty Dolphin are both located behind Shaggy’s.  Great place to stop in before or after your tour for a meal, snack or beverage.

Best of the Beach Tuna poke cup!

Cafe NOLA located across the street from Shaggy’s and on the Santa Rosa Sound offers traditional Cajun/Creole New Orleans Style Cuisine.  They do snowballs too!

Crabs “We got ’em” is located at Casino Beach Boardwalk (Beach Ball Water Tower).  Located gulf front with incredible views, this laid-back beach eatery has live music, outdoor tables and a great on-site beach store.
