The best beachfront restaurants on Anna Maria Island, Clearwater Beach, Daytona, Fort Myers, Jacksonville Beach, Melbourne, Miami and more!

While we love spending time relaxing on our famous Florida beaches, we’re even bigger fans of beachfront dining in the Sunshine State. Because, really, there’s nothing better than pairing that toes-in-the-sand experience with a good meal and a few boat drinks.

For Floridians, the beachfront restaurant options are basically innumerable. So we decided to share our list of the best, ranging from fine dining to flip-flops casual.

These are places with amazing waterfront views where you will find iconic Florida foods like grouper, Key lime pie and oysters from the Gulf – or perhaps just a great cheeseburger or a plate of superior chicken wings.

Presented in alphabetical order, the list is culled from USA TODAY Network contributors in coastal communities across Florida, with restaurants hugging both the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
