When you stay at one of our vacation rentals in Miramar Beach, you will be in a prime location to access some of the best places to get delicious seafood. One of the great perks of traveling to the gulf is that you will be presented with the freshest product. Here are 5 restaurants in Miramar Beach with the best seafood:
1. Acme Oyster House
The Acme Oyster House combines the New Orleans atmosphere with the beautiful panhandle of Florida. Since 1910, they have been serving up delicious seafood straight from the gulf to the table of their amazing guests. The appeal of this particular restaurant is their two specialities, gumbo and oysters. Because they were founded in New Orleans, they stay true to their roots with a delicious Seafood Gumbo. The combination of the rich broth mixed with fresh shrimp and crab make it the perfect way to start your meal! As you can imagine from the name of the restaurant, the other thing they are most known for is oysters. If you are looking for a challenge, try to make it on the leaderboard of the 15 dozen club!
2. The Whale’s Tail Beach Bar and Grill
If you want a beautiful view of the beach while you eat, you will not get much closer than you will at Whale’s Tail Beach Bar and Grill. They have an outdoor patio that hangs out over the white sand of Miramar. In addition to the fantastic view, this is the place to go any time of day for an amazing meal. The restaurant opens at 7:00 a.m. so you can start your morning off with a delicious breakfast. Then, you can return later in the day for some of the best seafood entrees in Miramar Beach. There is nothing like enjoying fresh seafood while you listen to the waves of the gulf in the distance. However, if you aren’t a fan of seafood, they also have other options on the menu as well!

5. Jackacuda’s Seafood & Sushi
Not only does Jackacuda’s Seafood & Sushi have some incredible food, but there is quite the story behind the history of it. Destin has been branded the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village for many years. During the 1980s, the Tenaco 80 was dropped to create an artificial reef where you could catch a large number of amberjacks. However, about a decade later, the water was not being friendly to Captain Dale Beebe one afternoon. All he seemed to see that day were a bunch of barracuda. When he was asked what he had caught while out on the water, his response was “all I caught was a bunch of Jackacudas.” That is the story about how the name came to be. So the next time you are in the area, be sure to stop in and taste some of the freshest seafood you can find in the gulf, including some amberjack!
