One of Fort Lauderdale’s true waterfront institutions, Coconuts has been feeding and watering Intracoastal regulars from its perch at 429 Seabreeze Boulevard for decades. The sprawling outdoor patio overlooks the marina where mega yachts and fishing boats drift by, dogs wander the deck, and boaters tie up for the famous Scoobies appetizer and caribbean-spiced jambalaya. It’s the kind of bar where Sunday brunch runs into Sunday afternoon and nobody minds. The coconut shrimp is a signature for good reason, and the views from the lower dock are consistently ranked among the best in the Venice of America. Casual, welcoming, and exactly what Fort Lauderdale waterfront dining should be.
