Beach Walk Café

Discover a voyage for the senses in the only fine-dining directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Beach Walk Café is an award-winning, fine-dining restaurant that sits alongside the sand, pairing imaginative cuisine rooted in the freshest, local ingredients with spectacular sunsets and star-speckled skies. No wonder it’s been named one of the best date nights in the U.S. by TripAdvisor 2025.

Our Monthly Brunch, held on the first Sunday of every month, offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and gourmet delicacies with the opportunity to visit our Bloody Mary Bar, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the gulf. Sip and savor at our Wine Down Wednesdays and enjoy 20% savings on bottled wines with dinner.

When only the best will do, reserve a VIP Toes in the Sand dining experience for the date of a lifetime. With the sunset and stars setting the ambiance, you’ll arrive at a private table directly on the sand and devour dinner, dessert, and drinks in true barefoot luxury complete with a dedicated server for second-to-none service. Adult only dining, must be 13 or older to dine with us and attire is resort casual.

Executive Chef Daniel Peters

Born and raised in Destin, Beach Walk Café’s executive chef, Daniel Peters, brings a unique perspective to the kitchen, bringing together locally-inspired ingredients and flavors together with his expert culinary skills. He first entered a professional kitchen at the age of 26, gaining his first taste of fine food and wine knowledge at Chan’s Wine World’s original location. But, in 2011, after a trip to the area, Peters decided to move to Napa Valley to further his curiosity of culinary culture and lifestyle. It was here Peters studied under a number of world-renown and award-winning chefs, including Douglas Keane, Sang Yoon, Jake Rand and Stephan Barber. All of which he attributes the entirety of his cuisine knowledge. He returned home with a goal of using what he learned to assist in the elevation of Destin’s food culture. Now, he’s working to bring about a Gulf-to-table concept at Beach Walk, crafting scrumptious fresh catch features daily, and share his incredible creations with the community that raised him.
