Sunsets and Seafood: A Night at Salt Water Cowboys in St. Augustine
If you are looking for the ultimate hidden gem that captures the old-school, rustic spirit of Northeast Florida, look no further than Salt Water Cowboys. Tucked away along the salt marshes of the Anastasia Island backwater, this iconic St. Augustine staple offers a dining experience centered around incredible coastal views and classic Southern comfort.
The Atmosphere
Perched directly over the marsh on stilts, the restaurant feels like a step back in time. With its weathered wood, open decks, and a canopy of ancient live oaks framing the water, it is the perfect spot to unwind.
A View You Can't Forget
The real magic happens right as the sun goes down. Watching the vibrant orange and pink sunset bleed across the expansive marsh grass while the tidal creeks reflect the fading light is worth the trip alone. Grab a seat on the deck, feel the coastal breeze, and watch the local wildlife wake up as the day ends.



On the Menu
Salt Water Cowboys is known for serving up a great mix of seafood and classic pit BBQ. Whether you are stopping by for fresh, crispy fried shrimp, a plate of local oysters, or their famous slow-smoked pulled pork, the food perfectly matches the laid-back, riverside environment.
It is a great place to gather with family, share a few cold drinks, and enjoy a relaxed evening away from the busy historic district.

8 Years in Florida and I Still Haven’t Seen the Mermaids

  When I first moved to Florida almost eight years ago, I had grand visions of what my life would look like. I pictured weekend road trips to hidden clear-water springs, quirky roadside attractions, coastal kayak tours, and endless sunshine-filled adventures. Fast forward nearly a decade, and if I’m being honest? Most of my "living in paradise" experience has consisted of navigating traffic on I-4, dodging afternoon thunderstorms, running errands in air-conditioned sanctuaries, and telling myself, “I’ll check that out next weekend.” Living somewhere creates a funny paradox: when paradise is in your backyard, you treat it like an errand you can run anytime. And so, time slips by. The #1 Missing Item: Weeki Wachee Springs If you ask anyone who knows me what sits at the absolute top of my Florida bucket list, they’ll tell you instantly: The World-Famous Mermaid Show at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park . Since 1947, performers have been putting on underwater ballet performances in...

We have had the pleasure of talking with some new visitors to WDW over the past few weeks.  It is so fun for Tabitha and I to do that.  It takes me back to a day when we would order promo DVD's to be delivered to our house and watch them.....Before you ask, the internet did exist and so did YouTube......But it was definitely a time of transition!  Talking with these people, it took us back to some of the budget tips that we have learned over the years.

Taking advantage of DVC Perks - Advanced Movie Screenings

Taking advantage of DVC Perks - Advanced Movie Screenings There are many advantages of being a Disney Vacation Club member.  The perks and benefits aren't enough to justify membership, but they are a great "icing on the cake."  This is particularly true now that we have moved to Florida and can be in Orlando without flying.  The most recent example is an opportunity to pre-screen the new Pixar movie "Onward" on Leap Day.  We received an email on Tuesday, February 26th, that notified us of the opportunity for DVC owners to pre-screen the movie on Leap Day.  My wife registered us, and we were looking forward to it! The doors were to open at 10:00 am on February 29th.  According to the "fineprint", it was a possibility that there were not enough seats for everyone.  Since we know how eager DVC people can be, we arrived at Disney Springs about 45 minutes early and were able to take a few pictures outside the theater:    Not onl...
