Frommer’s Review
This cedar-shingled seafood shack has glorious beach and Gulf views from its long porch. The popular casual restaurant originated charcoal-grilled amberjack, which you’ll now see on menus throughout Florida. Other fish and seafood, as well as chicken and juicy hamburgers, also come from the coals. Come early, order a rum-laden Key lime freeze, and enjoy the sunset. The Back Porch sits with a number of other restaurants near the western boundary of the Henderson Beach State Park and is a popular hangout for Frisbee players and sunbathers.
