Best Waterfront Restaurants in Boca Raton and Nearby

By Boca Raton Search · Updated July 28, 2026

Intracoastal decks, marina tiki bars and one inlet-side sunset that is worth planning your evening around.

In Boca Raton

Boca Landing at Waterstone is the city's definitive sunset drink: an Intracoastal deck looking straight at the Boca Inlet bridge. Come at least 45 minutes before sunset for a rail table. Food is solid; the view is the reason.

Boca's coastline is largely residential and park, which is why the true waterfront dining scene sits just north and south. Plan accordingly.

In Delray Beach

Deck 84 sits on the Intracoastal at the east end of Atlantic Avenue with dock-and-dine slips, fish tacos and boat traffic all afternoon. It is the best combination of view, price and walkability in the county.

In Boynton Beach

Two Georges Waterfront Grille at Boynton Harbor Marina is unpretentious in the best way: fried grouper, a tiki bar and working boats coming and going.

In Jupiter

Guanabanas is worth the 40-minute drive. An open-air restaurant built into the mangroves on the Intracoastal, tiki roofs, live music nightly and the most atmospheric room on the water in Palm Beach County.

How to do it right

Sunset here moves fast — under five minutes from touching the horizon to gone. Reserve for 45 minutes before, order drinks immediately, and put your phone down for the last ten. Stone crab season runs mid-October through early May; outside those months, order local mahi or hogfish instead.
