Captain's Cove Oyster Bar

About Us

Situated along the tranquil waters of the Laguna Madre, Captain's Cove is a refined coastal retreat where the spirit of South Padre Island comes to life. Inspired by resident captains that charter fishing trips off the restaurant docks, the Cove blends local heritage with an elevated, seaside sensibility offering a fresh take on waterfront dining in South Texas.

Our menu features a show stopping seafood tower, rotating selections of East and Gulf Coast oysters, prized for their clean, yet complex flavors, and contemporary dishes that highlight the best ingredients the Gulf has to offer. Our cocktail program draws on tropical influence and classic technique, crafting bright and balanced libations curated to complement the briny elegance of shellfish and capture the essence of island life. Whether you're a local looking for good times and friendly faces or a visitor seeking something beyond the ordinary, Captain's Cove offers a unique dining experience shaped by the tides and defined by our Gulf.
