The Bay

Just off 30A, The Bay overlooks Choctawhatchee Bay and has great views, outdoor seating complete with a beach that’s perfect for children, and an array of delicious dishes. If your calendar allows it, dine at The Bay on Wednesdays, and enjoy a beach bonfire and great live music.

 

No Hassle To-Go:

After a long day on the beach, the thought of waiting 2+ hours for a table at your favorite local restaurant can seem like a daunting task. Below we have gathered a list of our favorite restaurants (that are most likely yours too) that make it easy to grab your favorite food to-go.

Seagrove Village Market

With a to-go window located just to the side of the Seagrove Village Market’s parking lot, they make it incredibly easy to grab a mouthwatering po boy or fried shrimp basket.

Local’s Note: Seagrove Village Market will soon be opening their second location on Highway 98 beside Publix at WaterSound Origins.

Amici and Amigos

Whether you’re looking for Mexican or Italian delicacies, these two restaurants are side-by-side and are a family-friendly favorite.

Local’s Note: In just a few short months, Amici and Amigos will be opening a carryout window next door to the two restaurants in 30Avenue.

Nanbu

Nanbu in Grayton Beach offers Japanese eats with a southern flair and is one of our favorite local secrets. The next time you are here, be sure to try their daily selection of dumplings and pork belly steamed buns as an appetizer and the miso pork ramen as an entree!

Pizza Bar and Taco Bar at Seaside

Whether you’re looking for delicious pizza or tasty tacos, these two restaurants are right across from each other and are a great family-friendly option. Grab your favorite items and head over to the Seaside green area for a great picnic.
