You want to celebrate Thanksgiving, but you also want to be on vacation, right? Well, these restaurants have you covered.
Clayton’s and Miguel’s are near the south bridge, making them an easy walk from anywhere you’re staying on Crescent Beach. They’re just steps from the Sea Shell.
Café Gabbiano and Siesta Key Summer House are in the Village; Ophelia’s is in Turtle Beach. All three are accessible via the free Siesta Key Trolley, but it’s important to note that the trolley’s Thanksgiving hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., so plan your trip accordingly.
We suggest calling ahead or going online for reservations. These restaurants also offer Thanksgiving takeout, so that may be an option if there is no seating available – or if you just prefer to eat in the comfort of your own condo.
