Panama City Beach Seafood Restaurants

When you come to the home of the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches you expect to find some great seafood.

Florida’s Gulf Coast is home to some of the freshest and tastiest fish you’ll eat.

There’s no shortage of restaurants in Panama City Beach that serve seafood. We’ll show you some of the best…

1. Coconuts Seafood Pizza & More ($$)

If you only try one seafood restaurant in Panama City Beach, this is it.

Coconuts is the new kid on the block, but quickly becoming one of those “local’s favorite” places.

Anywhere known as “the West’s best kept secret” must be pretty good, right?

Best known for some of the freshest Apalachicola Oysters, and their signature ‘Coconuts Shrimp‘.

Coconuts Seafood Restaurant also has outdoor seating. The bar serves a huge selection of craft beers. TV screens line the walls, and they offer a special kid friendly menu.

Everything is made to order, making it as fresh as possible. Nothing you’ll eat here has ever seen the inside of a freezer.

2. Captain Anderson’s ($$$$)

Award winning, and specializing in seafood, Captain Anderson’s is place to eat.

A quick look on any major travel review site will reveal satisfied customers, and recommendations of dishes to try.

This family restaurant is located right at the base of the Grand Lagoon Bridge. Guests can dine early and watch the fleet unload their catch.

Captain Anderson’s also serves steaks, has a wine selection, and a waterfornt market.

3. Schooners ($$$)

Known as the ‘last local beach club‘, Schooners is sat right on the beach.

It’s a great place to catch some live music, kick off your flip flops and watch a beautiful Panama City Beach Sunset.

As far as seafood goes, the Grouper sandwich, and the Mahi sandwich are both popular choices. But you will need deeper pockets here than some other places.

If you plan on taking your appetite with you then you’ll want to take a look at the “Beach Party“. A platter of Shrimp, Grouper, Oysters, and Hush Puppies that’s big enough to share.

4. Sandbar ($$)

This Panama City Beach seafood restaurant had a humble beginning as a deli. Selling fresh meat, cheese, salads and steamed seafood.

One of the things that sets the Sandbar apart is the fact it cooks all dishes to order, focussing on freshness.

This is a great place to grab some fresh oysters too. Pretty much any way you can imagine. They’ve got you covered.

If you’re serious about your seafood though, it’s the royal red shrimp, seared scallops and steamed snow crab legs that you’ll want to sink your teeth into.

5. Hook’d Pier Bar ($$)

Look at any of the major review sites, and you’ll see that Hook’d Pier Bar & Grill is doing something right.

Located right next to the pier at Pier Park. It’s also catch a great sunset and some live music.

They claim their burgers are “off the hook“, but the Shrimp, oysters, and crab claws are all popular choices.

Don’t miss out on their smoked tuna dip, and the fish tacos! They really are among the best in Panama City Beach.
