Restaurants of Destin and South Walton
Beachwalk Cafe -
Beach Walk Crystal Beach is like the one and only heir to a rich tycoon. Its back wall (two stories, all glass) opens to a view that isn’t of a beach-off-in-the-distance but an immediate, present beach. It’s an arm’s length from the nearest indoor table and practically merging with the deck outside. Coconut white and wisped with seagrass, it barely holds back the green-blue Gulf of Mexico.

Harbor Docks -
Back in 1979, Harbor Docks was just a weather-beaten little cottage with six picnic tables, one bathroom and an ancient old dog named Raspberry who laid out on the porch all day thumping his tail at the folks who wandered up for a few ice cold beers and oysters on the half shell. Harbor Docks was nothing fancy back then, and things haven't changed much.
Charles Morgan, the owner of Harbor Docks, has added on to the little cottage over the years. Now, there's a Sushi bar and Hibachi grill and the deck sprawls along the waterfront. Of course, Raspberry has gone on to his reward, and Charles has added a few more creature comforts...he put in air conditioning, paved the parking lot and added valet parking, but the old picnic tables are still here and Harbor Docks is a long way from fancy. Our made from scratch food is honest and healthy.
