Best Destin Restaurants with Sunset View

Think about how good it feels, at the end of a long day, to sit down to a meal you didn't have to cook yourself. Now picture that meal being served on an outdoor patio, with the sun setting in the distance.

You're feeling relaxed already, aren't you?

Sunset restaurants are one of summer's greatest pleasures, and while beach views dominate along the Emerald Coast, these restaurants are perfectly positioned to deliver views of the western sky. There is no shortage of restaurants with the perfect sunset view on the Emerald Coast!


What better way to appreciate a classic Gulf of Mexico sunset over the emerald green waters and beautiful shorelines than at one of Destin’s finest restaurants. Check out our list of picture-perfect spots for sunset views and amazing food.

The Gulf seafood is prepared with a Creole flair, the attire is casual, yet an upscale waterfront dining experience is provided for the entire family. Open year-round, Louisiana Lagniappe is the spot for a memorable dining experience on all levels.
