Seafood with a View
Savor fresh seafood while taking in serene water views. Ponte Vedra’s dining scene offers a range of seafood experiences, many located along the Intracoastal Waterway, where you can enjoy boats, natural surroundings, and sunsets while indulging in local favorites.
Barbara Jean’s is known for its diverse seafood and southern “made-from-scratch” cooking. Sitting right on the Intracoastal Waterway, you can enjoy meals on the back deck with water views or savor shrimp, tuna, fresh catch, and southern-style sides as the sun sets over the water.
Palm Valley Fish Camp, located in central Ponte Vedra along the Intracoastal, has long been a favorite for fresh, high-quality seafood. From shrimp and oysters to crabcakes and tuna, this upscale “camp-style” dining experience is perfect for nourishing your body while enjoying the waterway setting.
More Waterfront Dining Options
In Sawgrass Village, Aqua Grill offers an extensive selection of seafood, including flounder, cod, trout, shrimp, scallops, and snapper. The restaurant’s award-winning interior, patio seating, and expansive water views make it a unique destination for both taste and ambiance.

Additional options nearby include American Gator and Aqua Grill at Sawgrass, while a short drive north to St. Augustine expands choices to Caps on the Water and Aunt Kate’s, all providing scenic views alongside fresh seafood.
