PARADISE FOUND – American
Historic landmark waterfront restaurant on Papaya Street in the old fishing village of Goodland, with panoramic views of the Marco River and Goodland Bay from its outdoor decks and newly renovated air-conditioned dining room. Fresh seafood leads the way — grilled fish tacos, crab cakes, oysters, the Island Shrimp Boat, and fried calamari with marinara — with the Paradise Found Burger and sandwiches for landlubbers. Service is walk-in only, keeping the dockside spirit casual, and live entertainment keeps the decks lively. Seasonal, reopening each fall, it suits boaters, sunset chasers, and Old Florida seafood loyalists.
