A Fresh Flavor of Paradise

At Islander Resort, the table becomes a gathering place where the Key’s signature dynamic energy, bold flavors, and natural beauty come alive.

Rooted in the rhythm of the islands and designed to delight, these dining experiences embody the islander lifestyle—connected, vibrant, and steeped in nature.  

Tides Beachside Bar: The Heartbeat of Island Life

The happiest of hours begin at Tides Beachside Bar. Here you’ll find a memorable blend of casual familiarity and tropical flair as you kick back, relax, and indulge in a lively atmosphere and vibrant menu along Islander Resort’s beachside.

During the day, the menu offers a taste of the Keys with fresh-caught seafood, signature salads, sandwiches, daily specials, and tropical-inspired cocktails to sip poolside or by the shore.

As live music brings life to the scenery around, an evening menu of bar snacks, wines, beers, and cocktails makes every moment even more special. Just like the tide pulls in the moon, come and be pulled into the fun of Tides Beachside Bar.

Drift on the Beach: Coastal Dining Redefined 

Steps from the pristine shoreline, Drift epitomizes barefoot luxury, effortlessly blending rustic charm with laid-back sophistication. Reflecting the style and spirit of the Florida Keys, this open-air restaurant is a natural extension of the beach, where guests can discover the simple joy of dining. 

Inspired by the culinary traditions of coastal towns, you can indulge in dishes crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and unique open-flame cooking methods that help one each shine. Here, communal tables become the heart of joyous gatherings, transforming meals shared among friends and family into memorable moments that linger long after the night ends.

The experience doesn’t stop at the plate—the beverage menu pays homage to the rum-running tales of the past, serving up local beers, wines, and craft cocktails inspired by the adventurous spirit of the Keys. With breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings, Drift redefines coastal dining with timeless elegance and bold, ocean-inspired flavors. 

Coccoloba: Breezy Beachside Bliss

For a midday refresh from the sun and sand, visit Coccoloba. Sip on crave-worthy cocktails and local beers beneath swaying palm trees on Islamorada’s longest stretch of sand. Coccoloba is the perfect dining destination for easygoing lunches or carefree happy hours, serving up lobster rolls, fish tacos, and canned cocktails in a picturesque, toes-in-the-sand setting.  

Open Thursday through Sunday, this new addition invites guests to soak in the views of sparkling blue waters while popping open a well-deserved cold one. It’s the ultimate gathering place for resort guests, families, and locals to connect—a reminder that even simple moments can become the most meaningful.  

Sandy’s Bar: The Best Spirits in the Keys
