Wonderful spot for a quick Miami getaway. The place has ample parking, it is clean and has a great selection. They have a varied selection of cooked (breaded, fried, and baked) seafood, to raw oysters and octopus salads. They even have pizza for the kiddos, paella, and soups. They have a full spirit bar with a variety of fun cocktails. The service didn't feel rushed like a buffet usually is, but personalized like dining at a regular restaurant. Dessert bar was also very complete, and I suggest you don't leave before trying their flan. Carb legs? They have them. For the regular price, you get 2 sets of cold or steamed clusters. You can always pay for a few more and even order King Crab al la carte. All in all, for a buffet, you will leave happy and satisfied. It's a must pit stop when driving from Miami to Key West

Went to all you can eat at Whale harbor. Buffet was pretty good, they give you a ticket for a pound and a half of crab legs crab legs are not all you can eat. Very good dinner $35

Just dropped on to have a bite by the water. Small marina but full of charter boats offering all manner of fishing trips. Not sure about the offer of ecotourism and shark fishing offers though??? would be nice to also have someone clean up the small amount of floating rubbish in the water of the marina to give a better impression.
