This is a kid friendly place with outdoor entertainment. Walk down the pier and you might see manatees, dolphins and sharks if you are lucky. The drinks are good and make it a double. There is lots of good option on their menu. This is the best place to watch the sunset!

We did the tiki boat tour- add the extra hour since it takes some time to get down the channel, otherwise you end up coming right back. It was so nice to just be our family with the captain. They got to do everything and can’t wait to do it again.
