The Beach and a Great Restaurant

Dog’s Beach – Louie’s Backyard

OK, its a small chunk of beach right beside Louie's Backyard, but its a great place to let your dog swim. You will meet many locals who bring their pets for a daily swim. This land is city owned and cleaned only by the responsible pet owners who use it - so remember to clean up after your dog and maybe after someone else who forgot :-) !

NOTE: Louie's Backyard bar called the Afterdeck is pet friendly up until 5pm when dinner is served. This is my favorite Sunday afternoon cocktail hangout! Enjoy!

Louie's Backyard or The Afterdeck

Nestled amid blooming bougainvillea on a lush slice of the Gulf, Louie's remains one of the most romantic restaurants on earth. Famed chef Norman Van Aiken of Norman's in Miami brought his talents farther south and started what has become one of the finest dining spots in the Keys. As a result, this is one of the hardest places to score a reservation: Either call way in advance or hope that your hotel concierge has some pull. After dinner, sit at the dockside bar and watch the waves crash, almost touching your feet, while enjoying a cocktail at sunset. You can't go wrong with the fresh catch of the day, or any seafood dish, for that matter. The weekend brunches are also great. If you can't stay for dinner, go for lunch; this is one dining experience you won't want to miss.
