Top 3 Sunset Dining Experiences in Cape San Blas, Florida

There’s something magical about the way Cape San Blas does sunsets. The sky turns gold and coral, the breeze softens, and time seems to pause for just a moment. Whether you’re savoring fresh Gulf seafood or enjoying a quiet meal on your private deck, there’s no better way to end a beach day than with a front-row seat to nature’s nightly show.

Here are our top 3 favorite sunset dining experiences in Cape San Blas — where good food meets breathtaking views:

🥇 #1 — From the Comfort of A Tier Above

Private dining. Unparalleled views.

At A Tier Above, the best sunset seat is right at home. The entire top floor — kitchen, dining, and living — faces west toward the Gulf, offering sweeping views as the sun sinks into the horizon. Step out onto the oversized front deck with a glass of wine, or enjoy dinner inside surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows glowing with color.

It’s peaceful, private, and perfectly effortless — the way a beach vacation should be.

👉 Insider tip: The front deck is our favorite place to catch that last golden light as the sky fades to pink and lavender.

🥈 #2 — The White Marlin & Oysterette (Port St. Joe)

Bayfront elegance with a sunset glow.

White Marlin sits directly on St. Joseph Bay and serves up an incredible dining experience that’s as much about the view as it is about the food. The sunsets here shimmer across the water, creating a backdrop that’s hard to beat.

Go all in with the fine dining experience — think fresh seafood, steaks, and seasonal specialties — or keep it casual with cocktails and appetizers on the outdoor deck. Either way, you’ll be treated to one of the most stunning sunsets on the coast.

👉 Pro tip: Time your visit for golden hour and let the bay light up your evening.

🥉 #3 — Hunt’s on St. Joe Bay (Port St. Joe)

Casual, coastal, and full of flavor.

If you prefer your sunsets a little more casual (and your seafood piled high), head to Hunt’s on St. Joe Bay. It’s the kind of place where the food is as good as the view, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough for sandy feet and salty hair.

Pull up a chair on the porch, watch the sky reflect off the water, and enjoy that glowing horizon that makes Cape San Blas so special.

👉 Try this: Grab a table outside, order a dozen oysters, and let the evening unfold.

✨ Our Takeaway

From fine dining to deckside simplicity, Cape San Blas offers sunset moments that fit every style of vacation.
