Best seafood & waterfront-adjacent eats in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach eats with one eye on the water. Even when a dining room is a few blocks inland, the best seafood here tastes like Intracoastal breezes, Florida citrus, and whatever the pit or the raw bar is doing that week. We are not pretending every great fish plate has a marina slip—waterfront-adjacent and Florida-seafood identity both count.

Flagler waterfront fine dining and downtown Datura coastal rooms cover the special-occasion and lively small-plates lanes. Northwood and marina tags add casual sushi-and-seafood value plus emerging waterfront energy. Farther down South Dixie, Florida craft BBQ bends the seafood story toward smoked wahoo and pit precision that feels specific to this coast rather than generic “coastal American.”
