How to Arrive by Boat (Dockage & the Sandy Beach)

Tie up, walk up and make dinner part of your day on the water.

Plenty of guests arrive by car off the Overseas Highway — but some of our favorite tables belong to people who arrive by water. Bayside Grille sits right on Florida Bay at MM99.5, with dockage out front and a sandy beach below, so you can make dinner the destination of a day on the boat.

Where to tie up

We have dockage available for guests arriving by boat. Come off the bay, ease in, tie up and walk up to the restaurant — no trailer, no parking lot, just the water and the sunset. If you're planning to arrive by boat, give us a call ahead so we can point you to the right spot.

The sandy beach

Below the elevated dining room, our sandy beach and downstairs Sunset Bar are made for a casual, toes-in-the-sand evening. Pull up, grab a cocktail, catch the live music and stay for the sunset.

Tips for a boat-in dinner

  • Call ahead. Let us know you're coming by water so we can help with dockage and timing.
  • Aim for sunset. There's no better way to end a day on the bay than dinner as the sky lights up.
  • Reserve upstairs. If you want the panorama dining room, book a table before you cast off.

Whether you come by car or by boat, we'll have a spot waiting. Reserve ahead and tell us how you're arriving.
