    Nice little beach bar / sandwich shack. Hard to get to unless you're staying in the condos nearby. Closes at sunset so pay attention.

    Love this place, it's super friendly staff, good beachside menu and live music on Saturday afternoons! A great addition to Holiday Isle

    It was incredible! After Rick's closed, I didn't know how I would feel about Sand flea, but it's wonderful!

    We ordered the chicken strips (3/5), blackened fish tacos (3/5), and the chips and queso which apparently are borrowed from La Paz next door (4/5).

    First, we have been getting drinks at the beachside bar all week and have had just the best…read moreservice. Bartenders are kind and friendly. Second, we went with 14 people for supper and were treated very well from the get go. Sometimes with a big group we get eye rolls and obvious annoyance and we were not treated that way at all. Aaron was a great server and our food was really good. All in all it was a great experience. Thank you!

    This place is a classic. Right on the beach in Destin, you cannot beat the views. Keep in mind that…read morethis is essentially an outdoor dining experience. The whole place is open air, so you won't be escaping that panhandle humidity. The place is also super popular! So come early or be prepared to wait. The tables also tend to be very close. I can't say it's the most relaxing dining experience. But the food is good. I've always gotten the coconut shrimp and the servings are huge! The hush puppies are also so good. The slaw wasn't my favorite though. I also got a yummy virgin banana daiquiri. They also have lots of fun tropical adult beverages and they have a bar out front so if you do have to wait for a table, you do not have to wait for a drink! Our server took care of our party of 8-4 kids and 4 adults--masterfully, never getting flustered by my screaming toddler or our many and varied requests. Great job to him. Also the kids meals are served on a frisbee you can take home--a fun little souvenir. Like I said, this place is a classic and a must go at least once while in the area. The coconut cake is also delicious!

    We came for happy hour!!…read more Complementary chips & salsa 10/10 - Chips: The chips were fantastic. I loved how thin and crispy they were. And they broke into smaller pieces so nice too. - Salsa: The salsa was delicious, my husband wanted to drink it he loved it so much lol. Happy hour $5 tacos! You get 2 tacos included in this deal. You also can choose between flour or corn shells. We chose flour. Such a fantastic deal!! - Pollo 10/10 Grilled chicken, pico, lettuce, cheese, cilantro sour cream- everything about this taco was amazing. I would eat this every day if I could. - Al pastor 9/10 Pork, pineapple, onion, cilantro, queso fresco- I actually don't think there was any onion on it, but either way it was good. The pineapple paired really well with the pork. The green sauce on the side is spicy, I'm glad it's on the side and you can add at your own risk. - Carnitas 8/10 Pulled pork, cilantro, onion- I know it says pulled pork, but there really wasn't any difference in the meat between the al pastor and the carnitas. This one was my least favorite. It was just kinda plain, and I wish it had some type of sauce or queso or just something to make it better. They did have the spicy green sauce on the side, just was too spicy for me. Dos Amigos 10/10 - Queso Blanco 10/10 Yummy cheese dip! - Guacamole 10/10 Good balance of everything. No spice at all.

    Now I understand why this restaurant has such great reviews. We were on the hunt for something good…read moreto eat and happened to stumble upon this spot, so glad we did. We chose to sit outside, and while the service was great, the food was even better. For starters, I had the orange margarita (recommended by our waiter), and wow, it was delicious. I've never had one quite like it. For my entrée, I ordered a mix of three tacos, and each one was packed with flavor. The only downside was the number of tiny flies outside, they kept finding their way into my drink. Not sure if that's typical, but I'd probably opt to sit inside next time because of it. That said, the food and overall experience were really great, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!

Been here a handful of times and they never miss Don't even get me started on the ambiance...they have TONS of indoor and outdoor seating right on the water. They have several tvs, and usually have games streaming, so if you're wanting to enjoy some Sunday night football, go here!

    My bf and I had gone previously with a different captain and had such a great time that we decided…read moreto come back again to celebrate his birthday with a group of 8 people. Unfortunately, this last experience was completely different. The previous captain was interactive, gave us fun history facts, got in the water with us, offered cups/drinks, and really created a fun and welcoming atmosphere. This time around, our captain honestly made the experience uncomfortable and not enjoyable. The energy felt very much like "sit down, be quiet, and I'll just take you there." At one point he even said, "This is my aux, I control the music," which just came off unnecessarily rude and dismissive toward the group. We understand every captain has a different personality, but this experience made us realize how much the captain truly dictates the overall vibe of the trip. We ended up mostly avoiding interaction because it felt awkward, which was disappointing considering this was supposed to be a birthday celebration. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added at $15 per person, so we paid an additional $135 for an experience that honestly lacked hospitality and customer engagement. We love the concept of Tiki and had such a positive first experience, which is why this was so disappointing. I just wanted to provide honest feedback because the difference between captains completely changed the experience for us.
