In nearby Darien nine miles away are three restaurants I highly recommend.
Skipper's Fish Camp and Oyster Bar has excellent seafood and many other favorite dishes with a great view of the setting sun across the marsh over the Darien River and interesting wildlife and fish decor that outdoorsmen will love.
B&J's Seafood and Steaks on U.S. 17 in the middle of Darien also has great seafood in large portions, buffet, and reasonable prices.
Blue Bay Mexican Restaurant on the way to Skippers offers very good Tex-Mex dishes.
Closer to home to the north is Fish Dock at Pelican Point on the Sapelo River with seafood including freshly harvested clams and a wide menu.
