The Best Tiki Bars in Florida post took many grueling hours of research. After years of travel to god-forsaken beaches, Florida islands, resorts, and painstaking sampling, we feel we have a basis for reporting the best tiki bars in Florida, even though our research must continue for quality control.
First, we must define what a tiki bar in Florida is and is not. Here is our list –
- A Florida tiki bar does not rest in the middle of a theme park!
- A tiki bar Florida near the water is a must.
- A Florida tiki bar doesn’t have to have a thatched grass roof, but it helps its ranking as a great tiki bar Florida.
- A Florida tiki bar may also be a dive bar.
- Size matters, but only superficially.
- The best Florida tiki bars don’t necessarily have food.
Now that we have some definitions, our list is always growing, but here is a start of the best tiki bars in Florida in random order.
The Best Tiki Bars in Florida
The Sandbar – Clearwater Beach, Florida
We live on Clearwater Beach and we must have a base to start the list! We choose The Sandbar at the Opal Sands Hotel as one of the best tiki bars in Florida and certainly the best tiki bar on Clearwater Beach and our favorite tiki bar Florida!
The sandbar sits on Clearwater Pass, so you have a view of the Gulf of Mexico along with the boat traffic coming in and out of the pass as an added bonus. Between the dolphin, sea birds, and sunsets you have a complete picture of what a tiki bar in Florida should have.
Yes, there are other tiki bars on Clearwater Beach including the Palm Pavillion on North Beach, and the hidden Clearwater Beach Yacht Club tiki bar on the bay. We will take the Sandbar as our first choice, but the others get a few of our regular visits.
The Snook Inn – Marco Island, Florida

Rikki Tiki Tavern – Cocoa Beach, Florida Tiki Bar
This Florida tiki bar sits out on the end of an 800-foot pier on one of the most popular beaches in the state, Cocoa Beach.
Imagine if you could feel the cool breezes off the Atlantic Ocean while straddling a stool underneath a tiki roof on a 90-degree day in July. Florida’s hot summer days are made for this type of tiki bar. The Rikki Tiki Tavern fits the scene perfectly. If not one of the best tiki bars in Florida, it is the most unique!
If you have the picture, we need not write anymore! Things To Do in Cocoa Beach
