Even boat captains need a night off sometimes! Chuck Z ⚓️

Yesterday evening, we traded the boat for dinner with a view and headed to one of our favorite casual waterfront spots in Destin... The Back Porch. And as always, it did not disappoint! 🏝️

We grabbed a couple of cold beers, soaked in those spectacular Gulf views, and ordered one of their house specialties — the famous ⛱️ Grouper Destin.
Fresh Gulf grouper grilled to perfection, topped with bay shrimp and a lemon caper beurre blanc sauce
We paired it with twice baked potatoes and green beans... absolutely delicious! 😋

One of the things we love most is being able to come straight from the boat to dinner. We love the casual atmosphere! 😍

A little history... The Back Porch has been a Destin favorite since 1974 and started as a small beachfront burger stand before becoming the iconic seafood restaurant locals and visitors know today. If these walls could talk, they’d probably tell stories of sunburns, salty hair, and unforgettable beach memories. 🩵

Pro tip: get there early because this place is
POPULAR! We arrived at 4:00 PM and were seated within 5 minutes. But even if there’s a wait... trust us, it’s worth it. 🌊🐠🍤🍔

Are you visiting Destin in the month of June and wanting that crystal clear blue water at Crab Island? 🩵
Did you know the water changes color because of the tides, and high tide brings the blue water in from the gulf? 🤯

✅ Please note: This tide information is sourced from usharbors.com. High tide conditions are typically at their best approximately 2 hours before and 2 hours after the time listed on the chart.

Keep in mind that weather conditions, wind, and rain can also affect the water clarity and color, so Mother Nature always has the final say!
Save this reel for your June trip planning, and we’ll see you on the water! 🦀🏝️☀️
