LandShark Landing is a little beach bar next to the Margaritaville Hotel on Pensacola Beach. Well… it’s a little beach bar that was just named one of the “Top 50 Beach Bars in the World” by CNN Travel. That’s WORLD people! Number 24 to be exact.
It’s part of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville empire and it definitely has that son of a sailor feel. A Parrot Head’s paradise. There’s live music and a big open-air bar area with food and drinks. You can order a frozen Bama Breeze or a LandShark Lager or, of course, a margarita. And if you get the munchies, you can get, among other things, a Cheeseburger in Paradise.
And there’s a big beach area with picnic tables and games and chairs and hammocks. The place is laid all the way back. If you’re into the Buffett scene, you’ll feel right at home at LandShark. But really, even if you’re not, it’s still a cool place to kick back and relax.
My favorite quote about LandShark is under the photo in the story. “It gave up trying to be cool — and that’s when we fell in love with it.” Love it.
The rankings are here on CNN Travel.
UPDATE: The fine folks at Emerald Coast Tours pointed that another famous bar down the road (which also has Buffett connections) is also on the list. The Flora-Bama comes in at number 17. It is a special place.
