“Location, location, location” is a real estate adage that doesn’t really fit the restaurant business. But a hot new spot in Orange Beach does call it to mind.
I recently voyaged to Perdido Key to investigate suspicious reports of UFMs , and despite the tempting abundance of food at the Flora-Bama, I opted to leverage the trip into a stop someplace a little more upscale.
CoastAL Orange Beach's beach bar side features an open-air concept that puts as little as possible between you and the view.Instead, unprecedented circumstances opened the way for something else to happen. Something that involved a partnership between the city of Orange Beach and Orange Beach Land Co. – a company that is owned by John McInnis III and Cameron Price, who also are among the owners of the Flora-Bama entertainment complex.
The partnership that created CoastAL Orange Beach also established the city's first public beach. A boardwalk extends from the restaurant and parking area.“The city of Orange Beach, actually, until now, did not own a beach,” said McInnis. “All we had was state park or federal park. This presented the opportunity to have the first city-owned beach and so we partnered with them, we bought half the property, they bought half the property.
Flora-Bama co-owner John McInniss III, at left, smiles as the 2023 Interstate Mullet Toss gets under way.McInnis said that he and Price wanted CoastAL to combine some of the best elements they’d found in other beach bars, and it’s a subject they know a thing or two about. Does that sound like a mishmash? CoastAL definitely is not that. From the ground up, its light décor and open layout are tuned to make you feel like there’s as little as possible between you and the Gulf.
The chips are more in the light, crispy mode of wonton crisps than standard, garden-variety tortilla chips. The toppings provide a rainbow of flavors and textures but the quality of the tuna stands out despite everything else going on. The sesame glaze in particular is maddeningly good. Left to my own devices, I’d have drowned the dish in it. But the folks at CoastAL are smarter than that and used a light hand.
