MARINA CANTINA – Restaurant

An old tin shrimping warehouse at Salty Sam's Marina, reborn as a dockside cantina with a huge elevated patio over Matanzas Bay. Bamboo, nautical salvage and boat traffic set the tone; you eat with the working marina in front of you. The kitchen keeps faith with the area's shrimping heritage — local pink Gulf shrimp — and turns out grouper sandwiches to the waterline crowd. Weekends open early enough for a Sunday morning start. Casual, breezy and thoroughly Florida, it is the kind of place where lunch quietly becomes late afternoon.
