The Scout Guide 30A & Destin, Volume 1

Located at Grand Boulevard in Sandestin, Emeril's Coastal is the fi rst of Emeril’s Restaurants in Northwest Florida. The cuisine of Emeril's Coastal is symbolic of Emeril’s deep appreciation of and connection to the water. Combined with the bountiful variety of nearby fresh Gulf seafood and the freshest local ingredients available, Emeril’s Coastal strives to take you on a seafood experience like no other.

Emeril Lagasse Chef + Restaurateur

Whether you’re a local or a guest, we’re excited for you to “dive” into the extraordinary places and explore the exceptional small businesses that dot the coastline along Florida’s exquisite Emerald Coast.

The Scout Guide provides inspiration and information for living like an insider, as we introduce you to the artisans, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, creatives, movers, shakers, and changemakers, along with the people to watch.

It is our honor to be advocates, ambassadors, and cheerleaders for the people and places that make our little beach towns feel like paradise. Next time you visit one of these businesses in person or online, remember to tell them The Scout Guide sent you! We hope to “SEA” you soon!
