Everyone loves a great meal with a view, especially when you’re dining on the water.

We’ve come up with a list of the best waterfront restaurants in Georgia, and a few of these are more than perfect for your summer bucket list.
Casual. Classic. Waterfront. Happy Hour. Burgers. Seafood. Fries. Need we say more?

Here's the thing about waterfront restaurants: Many of them have a raw bar that is out-of-this-world. That's why Coastal Kitchen and Raw Bar is such a fan favorite. FRESH is a word they take very seriously.
Editor's Note: Blue Water Cafe is permanently closed.
Many people recommend going to Blue Water Cafe for the happy hour specials, but we suggest going simply because their fish tacos are the best in the game. Plus, you can get a crazy cool view of the water while you chow down.
Residents and tourists alike flock to Skipper's for the rustic atmosphere and mouth-watering platters of food. Make sure to sit on the deck for the best views in the house.
The thing about Chart House that people love is that the fine-dining chain restaurants notoriously sit on waterfront property. So that means whichever Chart House you visit, not only do you get the stellar service and delectable food, but you also get a sensational view while you eat.
Although they may not boast a big menu, (but they do serve a delicious cheese plate,) many locals flock to this hot spot for the huge selection of wine and the live music on weekends.
Located on Lake Lanier, Pelican Pete's Bar and Grill is the perfect place to pull up your boat or jet ski and watch the sunset with a cold beer in hand.

What's fun about Marker 107 is that every seat offers great views of St. Catherine’s and Ossabaw Islands across the beautiful Kilkenny Creek. It's a family-owned restaurant with succulent crab cakes. Is your mouth watering yet?
This casual waterfront eatery boasts Caribbean vibes and fresh seafood. It's the laid-back atmosphere that most people enjoy, especially when they host live music on the patio.
