Bare feet in the sand, a cold Kalik in hand, and the finest sunset table in Islamorada. Consistently among the best-loved restaurants in the Upper Keys.
Why It Belongs on the List
Morada Bay is the restaurant that defines Islamorada for most visitors who find it. Tables are set directly on a sandy beach facing Florida Bay — no shoes required. The food is Caribbean-accented, fresh, and unpretentious: fish tacos, conch fritters, grilled mahi. But what you're really here for is the sunset, which is classified as a religious experience by locals.
What Stands Out
- Tables literally on the sand — no shoes required
- Best sunset view in Islamorada
- Caribbean-accented seafood
- Full-moon parties on the beach
- Often cited as the #1 Keys experience by repeat visitors
