Sunset Gulf View Restaurant

[Cowdog]

Headed to Gulf Shores with my wife for a meeting. We usually go to Desten. Is there a nice Seafood restaurant with a view of the Gulf?

I saw the thread from last month but the only one that mentioned a view was Tacky Jacks at Fort Morgan.

I just ate at Playa in Orange Beach. We sat on the upstairs back porch with a great view of the bay and gulf. The sun doesn’t set over the gulf; it’s directly west. Food was pretty good.

Best sunset view is at Cobalt without a doubt. Nice outside area with a bar overlooking the pass and facing west. Thumbs up to Playa though as the previous poster mentioned. Pro Tip there….Go upstairs and get a seat at the bar with no wait.

Sunset Grill on the intracoastal on Perdido Key, Sea and Suds and Pink Pony Pub in Gulf Shores, restaurant in Gulf State Park (can’t remember the name).

Cobalt - on the bayou/bay
Sea n Suds - directly on the Gulf
Both great but if I had only one night, I’d probably pick Cobalt
Two totally different restaurants and atmospheres too.

Grand Marlin faces east and is on the sound.

Ed's on the causeway has a great view. I once dined by the romantic glow of a diesel fire on I-10 on the bridge across from me.


Ok, no joke. Bucky's lounge at the Point Clear Marriott in Fairhope has an insanely good sunset view over Mobile Bay. Honestly it may well be your best western view in Baldwin county. I do think the restaurant at the State Park pier is back open. I don't know anything about it but the view should be fantastic there as well.

I prefer the inside window seating facing west

I prefer the semi-private balcony facing East.
