My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this little tiki hut bar, and it instantly became one of our favorite spots! The atmosphere is so fun and laid-back, the kind of place where you can kick back, sip a cocktail, and forget about everything else. The staff made us feel so welcome, and the drinks were perfectly mixed—tropical, refreshing, and just the right vibe for date night. We enjoyed the music, the bartenders are amazing, and just having time together in such a relaxed, island-style setting. Whether you’re looking for a fun night out with friends or a cozy spot for couples, this place is perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

What a gem! This spot is a blast, and Aniyah, the bartender, is absolutely fantastic! Not only did she serve up great drinks, but she also went above and beyond by keeping the bar spotless and well-stocked. And let's not forget the culinary star of the show - Jacob's island-style Mahi sandwich was TO DIE FOR! The flavors were on point, and it's clear why this place is a local favorite. Can't wait to come back!

Lovely employees! Each bartender was wonderful. We had absolutely the best time hanging out and having drinks by the water. Landon is such a great performer!

Salty Pearl has the best bartenders! We stopped by here after a long hot walk on the beach and they kept us comfortable by keeping the ice waters coming. Nice selection of local craft beer and it was cold. Tasty frozen cocktails for a hot day and dole whip or vanilla soft serve floats for the kids. Davy Jones Locker and Calypso cocktail were some favorite drinks in the group. Bartenders had good info about the area which we appreciated since we are from out of town. Nice seating area right by the water by the marina.

What a gem! The Salty Pearl Tiki Hut in Alligator Point is pure coastal bliss. Right on the marina, the vibe is so relaxed—think cold drinks, friendly staff, and boats drifting by. Perfect for chilling with friends or family under the open-air hut, soaking in that Old Florida charm. Can’t wait to come back for the live music on Saturday nights! Five stars for this waterfront treasure.

We explored the Forgotten Coast and ventured to Alligator Point around lunch time on a Saturday. This apparently seems to be the only place at Alligator Point for drinks and food. Older gent who worked the bar and took our orders was very nice and informative. Nice little hut bar with seating all around it. Food was cooked in a food truck parked close to the hut. Seems to be very pet friendly, water bowls all around. We sat at one of the outdoor picnic tables. Great atmosphere but food was average. The calamari starter was deep fried too long and tasted very crunchy and burnt. The grilled shrimp was well seasoned and tasted delicious. Crab cakes were moist and consisted of crab meat with very little fillers, the way it should be. Would recommend getting food grilled since the oil is used for all things fried.

They were attentive and make this place a the perfect destination On the Forgotten Coast. Food was served quick and Hot! The Drinks as we learned are all Original Recipes, what a cool experience! We will come again!
