The beaches in Georgia are famous across the entire country. From Tybee Island to St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, we’ve got several beaches across the eastern part of the state that are an absolute blast to hang out at. If you live further inland, and the beach is too far of a drive, don’t fret! We’ve found a great beach-themed restaurant just north of Atlanta where it feels like summer no matter what the temperature is outside. The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill in Buckhead is the perfect place to enjoy summertime fun even in the dead of winter.

You’ll find The Big Ketch in the upscale north Atlanta neighborhood of Buckhead. This saltwater grill is admittedly miles from the coast, so you may not be expecting much.

However, the colorful outdoor patio here is one of the best in the area. With how unpredictable the Peach State’s weather can be, there’s a non-zero chance that you’ll be able to enjoy patio dining even in December!

Even the indoor dining room feels decidedly beach-like, with plenty of windows letting in lots of natural light.

The seafood here is delivered daily straight from the coast for freshness, with lunch and dinner options that feel like a day at the beach.

If you’re not a huge seafood fan, there are several burger and chicken options on the menu, plus a few meatless choices in the salad department.
