Good Report from Seafood Shack Marina, GICW Statute Mile 87
Claiborne’s Comments: The Seafood Shack Marina and Restaurant guard the eastern flanks of the Western Florida ICW, only a few miles south of the Waterway’s entrance into Tampa Bay, hard by the Cortez Bridge. The marina part of this operation has always seemed a bit “casual” to me over the years, but our dining experience here has always been good.
Just spent two nights at the Seafood Shack and can confirm the comments above from 2012. Darryl the dock master was very helpful and friendly, and the docks were still old and beat up, but both the marina and restaurant are under new management and renovations are underway. There were some new finger piers and replacement of the main docks and electric service were both ongoing while were there. The shore heads are also slated for a much needed facelift. Pretty good food at the restaurant, and several other good choices within walking distance. When renovations are complete, this will be a good choice.

I just spent a week at Seafood Shack! Had a great time, Staff was helpful, fun, supportive. Put it on your “places to visit”. Rent a car and enjoy the whole area!
Upgrades are happening every week!

Good to know! Thanks for the update. We passed by that way over Xmas and thought about stopping, but didn’t. Will definitely put that on our “places to visit” list.
