Must go early! We try to arrive around 4pm to get a table - no reservations accepted. Big Fish is a very popular restaurant that's a little pricier than the competition.

Sightseeing
If you are brave and want to see an alligator in its natural habitat (unguarded!), head over to the Rosemary Dunes Trail. About 1.5 miles in, you will see "Lefty" and maybe some of her babies.
