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.
