Definitely an experience to go at least once! Can be tough to find parking and typically a wait during the high season, but there’s a reason for that! Dollar bills hanging all over the walls and ceiling and a huge variety on the menu. Something for everyone!

Sightseeing
Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Unfortunately all public beaches are not pet friendly ☹️ but there are a couple of dog parks nearby. We can also get you a pass to access the Hurlburt Field pet friendly beach while you’re here if you’re not military!
This is the closest public beach access to the guest house.

Located at Liza Jackson Park about two miles from the guesthouse. One of the few dog parks in the area. There is a very small section of dog friendly beach if you’re looking to get your pup in the water.
