People love LuLu's. She is the sister of Jimmy Buffet and can serve up some great food. Her resturant is open air on the Intercoastal water way, but the WAIT is long. Check to see if you can get a reservation or go at an odd time. Also, they have lots for the kids to do and a great gift shop. Tip: If you an adult party, you can usually ask to sit at the bar and avoid the wait too. She also has music on the weekends and some week nights, check their schedule and plan unless you don't mind the wait.

Neighborhoods
Perdido Key is a family oriented area with no hotels only homes and condos. We are uniquely located in between Pensacola and Gulf Shores, AL and Orange Beach, AL. There is also Elberta, AL if you want fresh strawberries, corn and vegetables from the local farms. We LOVE it here because we have quiet beaches and the basic stores, yet we can easily venture out into the best of both worlds of nearby cities.
Perdido Key, Florida is an unincorporated community in Escambia County, Florida, United States, between Pensacola and Orange Beach, Alabama. "Perdido" means "lost" in the Spanish and Portuguese languages. The community is located on and named for Perdido Key, a barrier island in northwest Florida and southeast Alabama. Technically...a part of Pensacola, FL.
