Al’s Beach Club & Burger Bar at The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island is set to re-open for the upcoming season on March 1, 2026 at 11 a.m.

  • The popular beachfront restaurant is welcoming locals and visitors back with its signature burgers, baskets and homemade custard milkshakes served just steps from the sand. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and sunset views, Al’s marks the start of beach days done right.

New this season, Al’s is expanding its menu with a hot dog section featuring all-beef jumbo Vienna hot dogs served on toasted potato buns. Options include The Classic Dog, Bacon Cheddar Dog and the Southern Dog, which is served on housemade Brussels slaw and topped with smoked pulled pork and barbecue sauce.

With Spring Break kicking off the week of March 9, the Boardwalk’s nightly entertainment lineup is also returning in full swing.
