Restaurant

A casual waterfront seafood house on Destin Harbor, Boshamps grew out of the family's former fine-dining restaurant, the Flamingo Cafe, trading white tablecloths for a relaxed harborside setting. The menu leans on fresh Gulf seafood -- oysters from the raw bar, daily catches, and Southern-inspired plates -- backed by a full bar with craft cocktails and wine. The name is a playful mashup of the owners' three Labradors and the owner's own initials. Between the harbor views, family-friendly feel, and annual events, it's become a Destin staple.

Brotula's Seafood House & Steamer

A locally owned seafood house on Destin Harbor, Brotula's specializes in fresh, locally sourced Gulf seafood and steamed shellfish platters in a setting it calls fun and rustic yet sophisticated. Signature dishes include blackened snapper, pecan-crusted grouper, and heaping steamer platters, with fish arriving daily from regional suppliers. It sits at 210 Harbor Boulevard and shares its roots with sister restaurant Jackacuda's Seafood & Sushi. Expect coastal, New South cooking with a waterfront view.
