The working heart of "the world's luckiest fishing village": a quarter mile of boardwalk along a harbor packed with the largest charter fishing fleet in Florida. Late afternoon is the show — the boats come in and hang their catch on the racks, and you'll see red snapper the size of toddlers weighed to applause. From here you can book anything that floats: sunset dolphin cruises, tiki-boat runs to the Crab Island sandbar, jet skis, pirate ships for the kids. Summer Thursdays end with fireworks over the harbor. Eat at one of the dockside spots where the fish on your plate came off the boat behind you, and skip the boardwalk at midday in July — this place is built for golden hour.
