Backwaters Restaurant Backwaters is a nice stop when you visit Sand Key. They are on the boardwalk near the Marriott. They have really good seafood and pasta dishes, Great grouper! I like that you can sit outside along the water and dine on a covered boardwalk area. Good stop!

I just happened to find this little (affectionately referenced) ‘hole in the wall’ place, thanks to Google Maps. I wanted seafood for lunch on the water. The bacon-wrapped scallops and fries were excellent. The staff was beyond accommodating for me! I wanted to work and my laptop was dead - they plugged my laptop in behind one of the TVs in the bar so I could work and they worked through wifi connection issues with me too! Super friendly and accommodating team members.

We were seated out on the back patio right on the river. Beautiful spot. Loved the lobster bisque.
