Food scene
This waterfront seafood restaurant is a must! It's within walking distance, but is a little pricey. Highly recommend making reservations if you have a large group and it's a Friday, Saturday or holiday. They have an early bird special called the "Supper Club Menu". It's not an actual club. It's for anyone dining before 5:30. Much more affordable... and the food is still amazing!!

It's down on Treasure Island, but worth it! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and great food. We love taking our friends there.

When we were there in June 2022, we ordered pizzas from Beach Pizza Plus. They were really good pizzas, were delivered timely and were a decent value.

If you want to walk a bit further up Gulf Boulevard, DJs Clam Shack is one mile away. It's small, but has pretty good food. It was featured on Food Network's Diners Drive-ins & Dives. Right next door is The Dog and Parrott Beach Pub.

Family Fun
Smuggler's Cove Adventure Golf
19463 Gulf BlvdJust three miles north on Gulf Boulevard:
Water park with a variety of slides, kids' splash zones, a lazy river, casual dining & a tiki bar.
It's part of a hotel. The public is typically allowed in until 5:00 pm. You may want to check their website before you go to be sure. It is a little small, but it was clean and not too terribly crowded when we went there in the summer.

Seaside Seabird Sanctuary
18328 Gulf BlvdBars
This is the most unique dive bar we have ever visited. It is just North on Whispering Pines Drive. I heard it was built in the 40s or 50s and has been added onto many times since.
From the web: Cocktails & live music offered in a veteran watering hole filled with salvaged junkyard artifacts.
