Come catch the Gulf to Table excitement. Destin's emerald-green waters lure those both who love to fish and those who love fresh, wild caught Gulf seafood.

Gulf to Table Movement

The emerald-green water along the Heart of Florida's Emerald Coast is not only beautiful, it's full of adventure - the kind you can have both on fishing boats and in restaurants. These legendary waters lure those who love to fish, those who love fresh seafood and those who can't get enough of either.

The Gulf to Table Movement on the Emerald Coast

If vacation to you means a vacation from cooking and the only thing you make are reservations, there are some great places to discover.  There are some great restaurants in Pensacola Beach, only a short Trolley ride from Tiki House.  You can go high end or beach casual!  It is up to you!

Favorite high-end restaurants on the beach include the iconic Grand Marlin.  A great place for seafood or steaks!  They offer a very diverse menu in a very dressy atmosphere.  The service is great, the atmosphere is upscale, the view is good.  Their menu varies as they locally source their seafood and change by season.  It is described on reviews as "pricey but worth it."  They are known for their great cocktails and can compete with any restaurant, nation-wide!  This is a great place for events as well.

From Pensacola take the 3-mile bridge into Gulf Breeze. Follow Hwy 98 to Pensacola Beach exit. Travel across second bridge through toll and take immediate first left across the road to the service road to the Grand Marlin. From 1-10, take 110 South to Chase street exit.

The Grand Marlin | Between Time and Tide

Another Pensacola Beach island favorite that is worth dressing up for is Hemingway's Island Grill.  Though not as fancy as the Grand Marlin, it has an equally rated service and quality.  The views are great as they also sit on the water.  They promise to deliver a taste of the islands, and they do.  They offer fresh seafood, steaks, chicken and island inspired jerk dishes as well as more traditional dishes like, Lobster Thermadore and steaks Oscar style.  A real foodie is sure to find something on their diverse, island influenced menu.

Vacation for many means no heels, no ties, no suits.  Casual dining can be just a rewarding for many on the beach.  There are so many beach restaurants that fit this description, but none as well as Paradise Bar & Grill.  Located behind the retro Paradise Inn, on the beach (on the Santa Rosa Sound side) it is a swim up, boat up, or walk up restaurant.  The sand and picnic tables mean you won't ever feel under dressed!  But the food and view are wonderful!  They offer fresh seafood, bar snacks and drinks as well as a great place to visit and relax.  The sunset views are great and the pier allows for great viewing.  Kids are no problem either.  It is a great place to bring the whole crew and enjoy some live music or a sunset dinner.

And if you want some help, they will steam or boil it for you!

Another market is Navarre Seafood Market.  If you find yourself headed east on the beach, and want to check out this lesser-known spot, you might just find what you are looking for.  Good prices, and small and local, the market sells what is in season and what is fresh.  Not as big as other shops, you get personal service and expert advice.

But you don't have to go to a seafood market to buy fresh seafood.  Many groceries have fresh and good priced seafood as well.  Check any of the local grocery stores and their seafood departments for great seafood selections as well.

Many people come to vacation at Tiki House and Pensacola Beach looking for an opportunity to enjoy fishing in the Gulf from the beach, from the pier, or from a boat.  All these opportunities allow them to enjoy, not just the sport of fishing, but the fruits of their labor with the freshest fish anyone can enjoy.  

Depending on the season, you can find many varieties of fish in the area.  The following is a good guide to what is "running" when.

If you didn't bring your own boat, check out a fishing charter for a real fishing adventure during your visit to Pensacola Beach and Tiki House.  A vacation home rental allows you the freedom of cooking what you catch.  But to insure you will have something for dinner besides a good story, choose a charter carefully and read their reviews.  But if you are more about the journey than the fish caught, you can't go wrong on the Gulf.  The beautiful turquoise water view is reward enough for many.  Check out the fishing charter links below for information to help guide you to the perfect experience to fit your needs.

Why is fishing Pensacola's waters something we can't get enough of? Well, it's hard to give just one answer. But probably our favorite is the pure bragging rights available in these parts every fall and winter. We're talking Redfish. Big ones.

Tiki House is more than a vacation rental. It is our vacation home!  We purchased the home in 2015 because it is located in a quiet residential area right on the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. This beautiful area is full of beautiful homes, quiet beaches with the Emerald Coast's signature white sand. It is still close enough to walk, ride a bike on the trails, or take the free trolley during the summer to restaurants, bars, and shops. Or you could head east to the visit some of the most beautiful and preserved beaches that are part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. But we chose Tiki House specifically for its charm, character and amenities.  It has the largest private pool on the beach (according to our pool pro) and the perfect views from its many decks.  We want to make a stay at Tiki House as wonderful and memorable an experience for you as it is for us. Dedicated to making Tiki House THE vacation home of your dreams. We love Tiki House and know you will too!
