Captain’s Cove Oyster Bar on South Padre Island is where fresh coastal flavors meet relaxed island charm. While oysters shine on our menu, we offer much more — from rich mushroom risotto with shrimp or tuna to perfectly seared scallops, lobster gnocchi, crispy fish tacos, and indulgent shareables like crab croquettes and calamari. Guests rave about our shrimp enchiladas suiza, Akaushi burgers, and Gulf-inspired entrées that celebrate the best of land and sea.
Our cold bar, crudos, and ceviches highlight fresh catches, while our handcrafted cocktails — including the crowd-favorite Velvet Drift and Palomas — are the perfect pairings for a sunset on the patio. With a thoughtful wine list, refreshing mocktails, and a full bar, there’s something for everyone. Save room for desserts like our crème brûlée, praised for its balance of warm and cool perfection.
Light, bright, and nautical in design, Captain’s Cove offers breathtaking waterfront views and an inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re savoring oysters, enjoying a simple glass of Albariño, or toasting with champagne, every visit is about celebrating great food, drinks, and company. Our attentive service, coastal ambiance, and wide variety of flavors make Captain’s Cove Oyster Bar a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike — even if oysters aren’t your thing!
