Coconuts

Coconuts is a waterfront seafood restaurant at 429 Seabreeze Blvd, close to Fort Lauderdale Beach and directly on the Intracoastal waterways. Part of Be Nice Restaurant Group, it combines polished food with a relaxed coastal atmosphere and broad views of yachts and passing boats. Guests can arrive by land or raft a boat at the restaurant dock, and leashed dogs are welcome in designated areas.

The menu is strongly seafood-focused. Representative choices include oysters, coconut shrimp, conch and shrimp fritters, smoked fish dip, peel-and-eat shrimp and fish dishes, along with the well-known Scoobies, one of the preparations most closely associated with the restaurant. Coconuts also serves cocktails and a Sunday brunch.

Its strongest appeal is the combination of seafood and a prime waterfront location. It works particularly well for visitors looking for a casual meal after the beach, a place to watch boat traffic, or an outdoor dining experience in one of Fort Lauderdale’s most visited coastal areas.
