On the beach and great food. The only desert is a Key Lime pie...but man is it a good one.
Surf on over to our hut for fun in the sun, killer waterfront views, and fresh from the Gulf seafood. Open since 2014, Surf Hut serves up southern hospitality and the best that land and sea have to offer.

Less than 300 steps to one of our fav lunch spots.
If you're in Destin or Panama City Beach, Pompano Joe's Seafood House is a destination you must visit. Known for its fresh affordable Gulf seafood prepared with a Caribbean flavor, Pompano Joe's is not your typical seafood restaurant. We're a neighborhood beach place where you can "savor the flavor" of the Islands!

The original location, where it all began. Travel down our gravel drive and you're immediately transported into old Florida. This location may be a shack on the water, but it offers the prettiest views of Crab Island and the best seafood in town. At this location, you do not have a server, but rather order at a window, grab a seat, and take in the view. Don't be alarmed when one of our friendly employees comes hollering your name--they're just bringing your meal to you!

Traveler advice
Getting around
"Pack Walking/Running Shoes"
Scenic Highway 98 is the original beach cruising spot in South Walton. This paved path is perfect for biking, jogging or even longboard skateboarding. The path runs right by Miramar Beach Access which offers expansive views of the coastline. It's also a local favorite for surfing and sunsets.
Getting around
"Traffic can be heavy on U.S. 98"
Do as much as you can on Scenic Beach road and walk as much as you can. So many great places are within walking distance.
Getting around
"Always go to a light to Get Back to 98"
Directions: Go to Ellis road and turn left. Head to Scenic Beach rd. and turn left. At Alvin's Island turn left again on to S. Holiday Rd. that road will take you to a light on 98 and you can turn either direction.
