Black Bear Bread Co: Our favorite coffee and breakfast at the beach. There are many locations and all are lovely but we're partial to the one in Grayton Beach. Be sure to get the biscuit sandwich and a pastry!

Raw & Juicy: Healthy breakfast and lunch spot! In the afternoon, the Alys Beach location serves cocktails and has live music. Grab a spot under an umbrella and enjoy the patio. Fun playground connected on the patio for the kiddos.

George's at Alys Beach: Absolute must-stop for a grouper sandwich and a glass of wine.

NEAT Tasting Room & Bottle Shop: This wonderful cocktail bar is in Alys Beach, enjoy the al fresco tables out front and people watch in the evenings.

Pescado: Upscale rooftop seafood restaurant. If you don't have time to stop for a meal, you must stop by for a drink at the bar and enjoy the view.

Old Florida Fish House: Another great place to eat outside, often has live music, and is great any time of day!

Papa Surf Burger Bar: Newer spot to the 30A restaurant crowd, great burgers and beer!

The Daytrader Tiki Bar and Restaurant: Another new but worthy spot on 30A. Head there for the fun tiki bar vibes and cocktails and stay for the Hawaiian-inspired dishes.

Dawson's Yogurt: Kathryn's childhood fave. Never straying, I have only EVER ordered the chocolate vanilla swirl.
