Recently rebranded as Shuckers at The Gulfshore, this is a local landmark, one restaurant with three great vibes. The upstairs, indoor bar and dining room have glass sliders opening to the beach, making it feel wide open. The outside deck, also called The Cottage, serves the same menu, however, shirts are not required here. Underneath both, in the sand, the beach bar serves a smaller menu and shoes are definitely not required. Start with the famous Beach Bread then try the signature Grouper Sandwich or Grouper Platter. The Gulfshore Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take advantage of the free valet parking as the spots are limited and tow trucks often frequent the beach.
