The restaurant opened in 2022 but has quickly made itself one of the go-to spots along the Gulf. Here’s what you need to know before visiting:

Location: 25722 Perdido Beach Blvd. Orange Beach, AL 36561

The restaurant features all the usual seafood favorites sourced locally along with seasonal dishes and rotating desserts. Whether you’re looking for a quick bit to eat, a night of drinks by the beach or just a hang out spot along the coast, COASTAL can provide the perfect setting.

And USA Today clearly agrees.

“A beachfront restaurant in Alabama’s Orange Beach, COASTAL has become a local staple thanks to its lively atmosphere and waterfront views. Pimento cheese, Cajun Gulf oysters, and fish sandwiches are just a few of the savory dishes up for grabs, and to sweeten the deal, the venue also offers its fair share of live music and frozen cocktails.”

The destination also includes an outdoor bar with live music often playing in the background + a 3,000-square-foot retail space where you can find apparel, hats, drinkware and more.
