Mary Lyn’s Favorites
Our Favorite Eating Spots
We've compiled our favorite restaurants (family, date night, and some that our kids love!) throughout the beaches.
A locals favorite for the best tequila bar and margaritas, fresh tacos and great ambience. Banging shrimp on lettuce wrap is a must. Queso, guacamole, and chips and a Paloma on the deck - THE BEST.

Deviled eggs with fried oysters overlooking the intercostal - super special. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and it's great for date night or sunset cocktails and apps.

Great neighborhood restaurant just minutes from the cottage. Bustling on the weekends but get a seat at the bar and enjoy great cocktails and modern Beach American fare. (is there such a thing? We think so!)

Fish and grits and best fried shrimp at the beach. Owners of Palm Valley Fish Camp also have North Beach Fish Camp in Atlantic Beach (and are also owners of Marker 32). You won't go wrong with any of these beach treasures for lunch or dinner.

It's pretty fun around this place. And the pizzas are super - every time. Great beers and bar. Perfect pie. We place an order and pick up to bring back home just as much as we dine in. Either is perfect.

Favorite Shopping Spots and Must Visit

Ladies, it's just too good. Try to leave this place without some shiny treasure or lovely fashion. I dare you. It's just wonderful.

Casual beach and very hip ladies fashion. For anything that will make you feel great for a stroll on the beach or out-to-dinner chic, pop into Rosie True. A beach favorite.

Atlantic Beach is a straight shot down 3rd Street - about 10 minutes with traffic. AND it's a must for an afternoon of walking, shopping, eating, and enjoying the quaint charm that is around every corner. Flying Iguana, Fig&Willow, Mezza Luna, Doro, Lemon Bar, Sailor Siren, Jax Surf and Paddle -- some of our favorite eateries and shops to name a few.

After all, it is the oldest city in America. Thirty minutes south of the carriage house, St. Augustine is attracting tons of tourists these days but it's worth the fight for a good parking spot to spend a day strolling amidst the live oaks and Henry Flagler's influence. Some of our faves include The Floridian, Ice Plant and Preserved, and walking through old town for shopping, music, and soaking in the local flare.
