KAREN ⇓ 

Favorite local restaurant: That’s a tough one! Lately my favorite is The Point Restaurant on Innerarity Point Road. My 3-year old son loves to get down and boogie with the local band! They are known for their fresh fried seafood, made from scratch desserts and awesome local entertainment. Perfect eatin-in-the-rough spot!

Best view in Perdido: My favorite view would have to be almost sunset from the sound side on Johnson Beach looking West….the soft sound of the water splashing the shore and watching the heron hunt for their last meal of the day….soaking up the last bit of sun on your face, that’s the perfect ending to a day in Perdido Key! 

Best beach cocktail: Fresh Mojito from The Gulf Restaurant in Orange Beach

Favorite place for a night out? Dinner at Fisher’s in Orange Beach! Amazing appetizers and extensive wine list, then on to The Wharf for a ride on the carousel and maybe a movie…nice and low-key!

In your opinion, what should be one everyone’s “must-see list” when visiting Perdido? Hands down, you must see the Blue Angels Practice Show from the shallow turquoise waters of Sand Island by boat! Most amazing moment I have had by far!
