Where to Stay
There are a few hotels and rental residences in the area. But for visitors looking to spend the night, Beacher’s Lodge Oceanfront Suites is a favorite. Beacher’s is not your typical lodging - it’s a collection of condominiums and about 80 of the units are run by the property management firm. All have amazing views!
Not everyone is into the neon, high rises and big crowds seen at beaches such as Daytona Beach. Many simply want the quiet dunes and sea oats that filter the onshore winds gusting onto the coast at Crescent Beach. Over the years, Crescent Beach has been a regional draw from cities such as Gainesville. It also attracts return guests from Georgia and even Tennessee.
Dining on Crescent Beach
At Paula’s Beachside Grill, which was established in 1948, there’s a courtyard with wooden tables and umbrellas to provide some shade from the Florida sun. The interior has that traditional Florida driftwood ambiance that provides the setting for a cool brew, a tropical drink, or a hearty seafood meal or burger.
South Beach Grill has friendly staff and a menu of fresh seafood that has been attracting local customers for over 20 years. Guests love the fish tacos, fresh catch sandwich, crab cakes, and shrimp served up with homemade Datil pepper cornbread.
When you stay in Crescent Beach your vacation will combine the quiet crescent-shaped white sand beaches, great local restaurants, Old Florida ambiance, and family-friendly accommodations.
