Tucked behind the Four Points by Sheraton where the Peace River spills into Charlotte Harbor, TT’s Tiki Bar is the rare hotel-adjacent bar that locals actually claim as their own. The half-moon tiki hut anchors a man-made beach lined with pastel Adirondack chairs, and the fire pit out front turns the sunset crowd into a slow-burning evening one. Live music runs Wednesday through Sunday, the dock takes boats, and the harbor view runs unobstructed all the way to the bridges. Order something frozen, claim a chair in the sand, and let Charlotte Harbor handle the rest.
