Along with the beautiful waterfront views available at the Inn at Camachee Harbor, there are wonderful restaurants within walking distance or just a short drive away.

 

Right next door to the Inn is the Kingfish Grill, established in June 2005. This restaurant is a casual seafood eatery with a cheerful dining room, dockside patio, and banquet space. It is a favorite place to eat by locals and visitors alike due to the great food and beverages, service, and beautiful marina and Intracoastal views. The menu offers a variety of items for all tastes - seafood, steaks, and poultry. From March to October, live entertainment from local musicians offers a delightful atmosphere for your dining experience.
