AirBNB calls this Safe Harbor but the new name is “Dockside Seafood”. This is our absolute favorite local seafood joint! It is fast casual service so be aware if you go on a weekend you will have to wait in line (partly outside), however once you order the service is quick and excellent. Seafood is fresh and the sunset view off the back deck is phenomenal.

Our favorite happy hour at the beaches. The twice fried wings are out of this world. The "Tropic like It's Hot" is a terrific summertime cocktail, but you can't go wrong whatever you get.

We love Sierra Grille for a quick bite. The fresh salsa bar is fantastic and everything is made fresh in house, never frozen.

City/town information
A nearby and charming “Old Florida” town with beautiful beaches and great restaurants. This makes for a great day trip and is even more fun when you take the Mayport ferry to get there.

The oldest city in America. Lots of cool historical sites and plenty of shops and restaurants. The Castillo de San Marcos fort is fun for the kids and the drive down A1A to get there is one of the most beautiful on the east coast.
