The "classiest" spot on the Island. Best atmosphere - especially out on the patio! The Fettucini Alfredo is killer and you've got to try a Moonwacker

Good solid choice for local seafood. The shrimp and grits are my personal favorite and their local catch of the day is usually really good and fresh! They've also got a full bar area and take-out.

Seriously delicious Mexican Food. Take-out only and limited hours, but so, so worth it! Their tacos just can't be beat. Get a side of Churros and you won't be disappointed!

Hands down the best place to satisfy your sweet tooth! We love to head over for breakfast - Sunday's they have crab meat omelets but they always sell out so come early! Cinnamon Rolls are huge and so good you wont' want to split! Also they serve the best cup of coffee on the Island and can do Lattes, Cappuccinos, etc. Prices are really good!

Snowcones and Pizza - what more could you want? They have the best though. And just walking distance to the condo! My personal favorite is the 1/2 Pina Colada and 1/2 Strawberry - take it home and spike it with your own vodka or rum

I use the term "restaurant" loosely, because this is really just food served at a gas station - but it's good y'all! Seriously one of the best breakfasts on the Island. The bacon, egg and cheese biscuit is my personal favorite!

While they have very odd hours if you can hit up Dority's when open you won't be disappointed - especially if they have live music! Great back yard with a huge stage, fire pits and tons of seating. Solid bar service and a chalk-board menu that changes daily! Check out their Facebook for hours.

Sightseeing
History buffs will LOVE Ft. Gaines! Learn all about how she helped protect Mobile Bay during the Civil War. Lots of great history about the Island and local folklore as well. It can be HOT, so go early or late and avoid the heat of the day!

We love taking our little one to The Estuarium. Learn about our local ecosystem in this small but well done local aquarium. Perfect for rainy or super hot days! Kids love getting to touch the sting rays and the horseshoe crabs in the touch tank. They also have a GREAT gift shop!

Essentials
Our mantra is - "If Ship & Shore doesn't have it, then you don't need it!" Seriously though, this place has EVERYTHING (at a price.). Groceries, craft beer, hardware, souvenirs, beach toys, movies, a pharmacy, liquor and more! I wouldn't suggest buying all your groceries here, but for a quick grab and go it's convenient and perfect.

The Circle K has a great selection of beers, snacks and even a Subway! There's a RedBox located outside and they are always friendly and helpful. One of the only places on the island to grab food late at night. Choices are either a hotdog or nachos, but both are great for late night cravings!
