Your Family will Enjoy The Stingaree Restaurant
The Stingaree Restaurant on Crystal Beach has long been one of the best and most reliable restaurant options on the Bolivar Peninsula.
There are actually two restaurants the make up the Stingaree.
Downstairs is a more casual venue with both indoor and outdoor seating. I really enjoy getting one of the outdoor tables right on the water.
It’s the perfect place to enjoy a shrimp po boy and watch fishing boats, big barges on the intercoastal canal, and gorgeous sunsets.
The downstairs menu at the Stingaree offers burgers, salads, sandwiches (including shrimp or oyster po boys), and bar fare.
If you’re looking to enjoy live music on Crystal Beach, The Stingaree brings in some of the best bands.
Upstairs is a more formal dining area with an elevated menu (and air conditioning). The upstairs menu has more chilled seafood, seafood pastas, and options like grilled flounder or red snapper.
The Stingaree also has a boat launch that gives access to the shallow bay between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Canal.
Launch your boat at the Stingaree and you could catch flounder, redfish, black drum, sheep’s head, crabs, sand trout, or croaker.
The Stingaree has a bait shack where you can buy live or frozen bait typically including shrimp, mullet, and blue crab.
