After a nice day on the beach surf fishing, we headed for The Beach Pit - Eastpoint. What a pleasant surprise! We had spent the day driving around St. George's Island and needed a good place to eat. After passing up several restaurants, we came upon this one in Eastpoint.
It sits right on the bay and recently opened for business. They have another location on St. George's island which we passed up. I'm glad there was another one on our way home. The food and service is excellent! The staff is so friendly and they went out of their way to make us feel at home. The atmosphere was very nice and has a nice screened in porch area for warmer weather dining.
The entire Apalachicola bay area is famous for their oysters. They still harvest the oysters the old fashioned way with tongs from small boats. The oysters have a less salty taste compared to oysters harvested in other areas. This Apalachicola Oyster Guide will tell you all you want to know about oysters in this area.
Dave mentioned that we have never tried a raw oyster before, so they brought us both one to try. I had no choice but to try it, too. You know what? It was actually pretty good! I think the crackers, horseradish and cocktail sauce helped. They have oysters during happy hour 4-6PM for $5.00 dozen. We plan to come back and try them again....probably, steamed next time though. :-)
I ordered the Pork BBQ plate which came with good portions of home-made coleslaw and baked beans. It was excellent! Dave tried the smoked mullet and was not a fan. He has never tried it before and didn't like the mushy texture. So far, this is our favorite restaurant in the Apalachicola area.
