St Augustine beach Restaurants
Huby and I will be there for our annual visit in 2 weeks. Are there any new restaurants? Our son and his family are with us this year He loves crab legs. Where can we find these? Cant wait
Great question — St. Augustine beach has some solid seafood options, though finding crab legs can be a little trickier than you’d expect. Here’s a breakdown of good places to try, plus where to get crab legs.
Seafood / Beach Restaurants to Try:
- Crabby’s Beachside — A casual coastal restaurant directly across A1A with ocean views. Great seafood bites, live music, and a relaxed beach-dining vibe.
- Salt Life Food Shack — Located on A1A Beach Blvd. Very beachy, modern, and laid-back. Known to have king crab legs on their menu.
- Beachcomber Restaurant — Oceanfront charm, great burgers and seafood, and a friendly, beachy atmosphere.
- Cajun Crab Hut Seafood & Bar — Slightly more off the “beach main drag,” but very focused on crab and seafood, with Cajun-style cooking.
Where to Get Crab Legs:
- Salt Life Food Shack — As mentioned above, they offer king crab legs.
- St. Augustine Seafood Company — Known for their garlic crab legs.
- Beachcomber Restaurant — While not always on every menu, they are one of the places listed in guides for crab.
On New / Changing Spots:
There don’t appear to be a lot of brand-new restaurants specifically on the beach dedicated to crab legs, but the ones above are well established and highly regarded in the area. Locals on Reddit also mention some spots outside the typical tourist area for good crab-leg options (e.g., Cajun Crab Hut).
Pro tip: If crab legs are the star for your son, call ahead to the restaurants (especially Salt Life or Seafood Co.) to confirm availability — shellfish menus sometimes change, and “crab legs” might be seasonal or limited. Enjoy your annual visit and hope you get some great seafood this year! 😊
