During the time that I stayed at Daytona Beach, I can say without a doubt I had gained some weight. Friends, activities, food, repeat. This pattern continued over a course of a week and when I tell you, there was no limit to how much food was being ate. Simply site seeing, you could walk into a restaurant, sit down, and see three more restaurants from outside the window. But the main one that kept my friends and I wanting more, was Joe’s Crab Shack.


Setting right on the pier, this establishment provided some of the freshest seafood that I had in a long time. From buckets of crab legs to signature shrimp platters, we were able to walk in hungry and walk out on a full stomach. Although the food is a bit pricey, you cant help but to take into consideration the scenery.

The best time to go was during late evening. The afterglow of the sunset reflecting off the horizon while eating fresh seafood, surrounded by the ones you love. You just can’t compete with that.

Also, for those that can drink, a drink that was highly popular at the time was the “Shark Bite”. These drinks were so popular that each time we went they were sold out. So if you ever come across Joe’s Crab Shack, you better hurry and see if these drinks are still in stock!
