For visitors cruising Florida’s Gulf Coast, there's no better way to end a day on the water than by docking your boat and stepping into a local legend—The Pink Elephant in Boca Grande.
A Dockside Dining Destination
Affectionately known as “The Pink” by locals and longtime visitors, The Pink Elephant is more than a restaurant—it's a slice of Boca Grande history. With roots dating back to 1947, this storied eatery has evolved from a small waterfront bar into a beloved dining destination, now operated by The Gasparilla Inn & Club.
Boaters will love the convenient dockage just steps away from the restaurant. After a day spent fishing, dolphin watching, or cruising the turquoise waters around Gasparilla Island, you can tie up and head straight to the Pink’s breezy patio or cozy upstairs dining room for a laid-back yet elegant culinary experience.
Fresh Flavors & Island Charm
The Pink Elephant’s menu blends fresh seafood with island-inspired American fare. Signature dishes like sautéed Gulf shrimp, seared local grouper, and crisp key lime pie reflect the vibrant coastal flavors of Southwest Florida. Whether you're enjoying a cocktail under the palms or indulging in a sunset dinner, the setting is as memorable as the cuisine.
