Waterfront seafood and steaks · $$$
Rusty Pelican
A destination for Tampa Bay views and sunset dining
Why We Picked It
A Rocky Point fixture since 1978, known for Gulf seafood and unobstructed Tampa Bay views. It reopened in July 2025 after hurricane-repair closure. One honest caveat: confirmed local reporting has its ground lease expiring in January 2027 for a planned redevelopment, with the operator intending to relocate to a not-yet-announced address — worth knowing if you’re planning something far ahead.
Getting There
