Here’s why…
Traveling along this road you will find beautiful views of the Gulf, surf shops, bike rentals, awesome beachside eateries, along with beachside condos and resorts & beachfront homes.

You, or even your future vacation renters, can enjoy great dining, jet skis, parasailing, and lots of shopping at the nation’s largest designer outlet center, Silver Sands Premium Outlets.

I love driving along Scenic Gulf Drive because you get to enjoy the gorgeous view of the beaches and water. And if you time it right, you can witness a spectacular sunset!
My favorite time is during the winter months when there is little traffic on the road and the beaches are almost deserted.
I do have a couple of favorite restaurants along this stretch of road that offer great views like the Whale’s Tail at Seascape Resort. They open at 7:00 AM every day and serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You can’t get any closer to the beach than Whale’s Tail, as it sits right on the beach!
It is a favorite of not only the locals but many of our repeat vacationers.
Another favorite is Pompano Joe’s which also sits on the beach and has great seafood with a Caribbean flair.
