Reviewed By CaptTrouble - Hudson, United States

My husband and I had eaten at the Blue Dog and decided to stop here and walk around. Even in the off-season, the park was busy. The park is very nice and clean, with no litter or problems. It was quite peaceful and there was a lot of parking available.

Berts Bar

Reviewed By royw366 - New Palestine, United States

You can't go wrong stopping into Berts when in Matlacha. Been there forever and just a great local place to stop by and have lunch or dinner along with the drink of your choice. Always live entertainment even in the afternoons. Menu is the usual surf side menu but the wait staff is always very nice and courteous. You can sit inside or outside by the water in the deck. Stop in and you'll be glad you did. Great food and drinks. See ya next time we are down.
