Bimini Bait Shack

This al fresco restaurant on stilts at the base of the Sanibel Causeway has personality for days. The owner has collected some of his favorite foods and drinks from islands in the Caribbean and combined them with local cuisine for a menu that is bursting with flavor. There are giant stacks of onion rings, thick pulled pork sandwiches, Bahamian lobster BLTs, Jamaican jerk chicken, Florida gator tail and more. Dining here is a feast for all of the senses. Taxidermy hangs from the walls and from the ceiling, a real airboat. It's lowered and raised like a curtain in front of an elevated stage featuring live music daily. The wall behind the bar is lined with frozen drink machines The bar itself is an aquarium with real fish that swim under your drinks and swinging chairs on the ends.
