Go Barefoot

Centrally located Barefoot Landing is directly on the ICW and offers a marina as well as a very walkable, outdoor “mall” located on a 27-acre lake. Three pedestrian bridges connect the numerous restaurants, specialty shops and entertainment venues. It’s hard not to visit with the resident turtles and shy alligators (no swimming!) while traversing the mall. See a map at bflanding.com. House of Blues (for voodoo shrimp) and Flying Fish Pubic Market & Grill (freshest sushi ever) get high praise from our cruising editor. The Gospel Brunch at House of Blues includes local talent performing both contemporary and traditional songs. Seating between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. every Sunday. Reservations recommended.
