Boshamps Seafood & Oyster House
How to book: reserve in high season — a harborside table at sunset is in demand in peak summer; book online (OpenTable/the site) or by phone and target a seating for the light on the water. Walk-in is possible off-peak but expect a wait at prime hours. The play: a deck table on Destin Harbor for the sunset + live music. Confirm current hours + reservation policy.
Best meal: Dinner on the harborside deck at sunset — oysters, shrimp & grits, and fresh Gulf seafood with the fleet and the water right there, often with live music. Lunch is the calmer, easier-to-seat alternative. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: budget-diners wanting a cheap counter meal (this is a fuller-service harbor restaurant) anyone wanting a quiet formal fine-dining room (it's a lively waterfront deck with music) walk-in-no-plan diners at peak sunset (book ahead in season)
