Local Eats

The Ugly Grouper is a popular spot - be sure to get your picture with THE Ugly grouper!  

The Sandbar is beachfront and one of the most popular places on the island so eating off peak hours will help!  Wait times can get up to 2 hours or more so make a reservation!

Tucked away in a strip mall, the Feast is a delight you don't want to miss!  We are letting the secret out - it's good eating!!

Just southeast of AMI, lies a small, historic fishing village established in the 1880's called Cortez Fishing Village.  It's where the locals eat!  Starfish has fresh off the boat seafood and a market where you can buy some to take home!  Don't miss this one!

Swordfish Grill takes waterfront dining to a true Florida experience!  Located in the historic Cortez Fishing Village, the seafood is as fresh as it gets!  Another local favorite!  Swordfish also takes reservations so reserve your seat for an unforgettable dining experience.

Tide Tables is another local favorite where the seafood is fresh off the boat in the historic Cortez Fishing Village!   This is Old Florida at its best!  They close at 8pm so plan accordingly!  All we can say is YUM!

Cortez Kitchen is yet another fresh, local favorite!  It's small but not one to miss!  Be sure to hit this in the historical Cortez Fishing Village!

Two Scoops is an island favorite for a sweet treat after a long day at the beach!  Located near the City Pier, they also offer sandwiches for a light lunch in case  you need more than sugar!

It wouldn't be a trip to Florida without a stop in Florida's born Publix grocery store!  Not only can you get groceries here but also can order subs to take for a day at the beach or on the boat!  Publix subs are a Florida staple!
