Gulf-Front Dining at Barefoot Hide-A-Way & Barefoot On The Beach

Barefoot Hide-A-Way and Barefoot On The Beach are By The Sea Resorts' Gulf-front restaurants on Panama City Beach—fresh seafood, Southern favorites, cold drinks, and scheduled live music with views of the Gulf of Mexico (not a generic "ocean" or inland waterfront). Guests staying at our six bookable hotels often walk or take a short ride over for breakfast, a casual lunch, or an easy dinner after the beach.

Quick pick: Choose Barefoot Hide-A-Way for year-round dining (breakfast through dinner) on the deck. Choose Barefoot On The Beach when you want the seasonal, all-outdoor barside-pool scene (weather-dependent). Poolside tiki bars at Beachcomber, Chateau, and Palmetto add seasonal cocktails and lite bites when open.

Q: Do Barefoot restaurants have Gulf views?
A: Yes. Both Barefoot Hide-A-Way and Barefoot On The Beach offer Gulf of Mexico views. Hide-A-Way's deck looks toward the Gulf; On The Beach is a seasonal outdoor Gulf-front spot with a barside pool. Ask for a deck or Gulf-facing table when you arrive (subject to availability).

Q: Which Barefoot is open year-round?
A: Barefoot Hide-A-Way is open year-round (typical hours 7:00 AM-11:00 PM; confirm day-of if you are planning a large group). Barefoot On The Beach is seasonal and weather-dependent with outdoor seating—check barefootrestaurants.com or call 850-249-2442 before you go.

Q: Can hotel guests walk to Barefoot dining from By The Sea Resorts hotels?
A: Yes for many stays. Our Front Beach Road / Griffin Boulevard hotel corridor (Chateau, Palmetto, Beachcomber, Sugar Sands, Palm & Tide, and The Barefoot Hotel) sits close to both Barefoot locations. Walking time varies by property and weather; a short drive or rideshare covers the rest. Front-desk teams can point you to the closest path or drop-off.

Q: Where are the tiki bars, and when are they open?
A: Seasonal, weather-dependent tiki bars sit poolside at Beachcomber Beachfront Hotel, Chateau Beachfront Hotel, and Palmetto Beachfront Hotel—tropical drinks, lite bites, and a laid-back Gulf-front vibe when open. Hours change with season and weather; ask the front desk the day you visit.

Q: Are Barefoot restaurants pet-friendly?
A: Only ADA service animals are permitted to dine with their owners at this time. We appreciate your understanding as we keep the dining decks comfortable for all guests.

Q: What should first-time visitors order?
A: Local favorites include Gulf shrimp, firecracker shrimp, smashburgers, po-boys, and Southern comfort plates, with Key lime pie for dessert. Menus rotate; ask your server for today's Gulf catch and live-music timing.

Q: How do I book a larger table or group meal?
A: For Hide-A-Way call 850-249-2031. For On The Beach call 850-249-2442. For hotel room blocks with group dining notes, call By The Sea Resorts Groups at 1-888-627-0625 or use the group RFP.
