Bob DeBellis and his wife blew into SoWal in the late nineties, after Hurricane George blew them from their island home in St. John.

Bob has always been a beach lover and a coffee lover. His love of both were the inspiration for the beach-themed Beachy Coffee Company he founded to live out his dream.

"We have good quality blends for everyday coffee with a fun mindset," says Bob. "I wanted to make sure we had good quality merchandise, too. Let's Get Beachy!"

North Beach Tortilla Co. is our SoWal hangout "with a beach" on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, where “Tacos Grow on Trees and Tequila Always Wins.” Spoken like somebody who’s enjoyed a few good margaritas.

Lunchtime at Red Fish Taco is a festive affair!

We like to hop over to the Blue Mountain Beach eatery as often as we can to get our fix of fun and tacos. Seems like too long since our last visit. If you haven't been to the hot spot in Redfish Village (where Trebeache' used to be), they’ve really brightened the place up. Whitewashed walls bounce light around the room and our favorite Justin Gaffrey pieces are still bringing the outside in.

Restaurateurs Hanie and Marie Nasri have come full circle in their quest for cooking, serving, and satisfying their loyal customers in SoWal.

Shaka Sushi and Noodle Bar is the place to hang loose and catch some positive vibes in Inlet Beach.

In addition to sushi, the menu features sashimi and nigiri, small plates, poke bowls, bento boxes, and ramen. The flavors of the menu might be complex, but the space itself is cool and clean, much like your palate after a bite of pickled ginger.

Carefully curated for those who enjoy the finer things in life, The Aqua is one of two corner units with an open floor plan and it's very own splash pool providing you tranquil personal space.
