Coconuts on the Beach

Coconuts on the Beach sits directly on North Ocean Drive at the northern end of Singer Island, in the stretch of oceanfront where a resort complex anchors most of the beachfront dining in this part of Riviera Beach. It serves a straightforward mix of seafood and American comfort food, fish and chips, chicken tenders, and a shareable bacon shrimp scallop plate, in a setting where the main attraction is the water rather than anything experimental on the plate.

Reviewers consistently point to the ocean view as the reason to come back, describing it as a fantastic vantage point paired with generous portions and a genuinely casual atmosphere. Service gets praised for being attentive and friendly, though a few reviews note it can slow down when the place fills up, which tracks for a beachfront spot that draws heavy weekend and holiday traffic. A Nashville-style hot chicken option shows up on the menu too, giving it a little more range than a typical seafood shack.

It keeps a single, simple schedule seven days a week, open from late morning until 11 at night, so there is no need to check different hours for different days, which is a small convenience compared to some of the other independent spots along this stretch that close early in the week.

One thing worth flagging directly: there is a well-known, unrelated restaurant using the same name, Coconuts on the Beach, on the Space Coast in Cocoa Beach, roughly 140 miles north. Nothing in the available records for the Riviera Beach location suggests any corporate or ownership tie between the two, and a beachy, generic name like this getting reused by unrelated small businesses along Florida’s coast is common rather than unusual. Still, this research could not fully verify the Riviera Beach location’s ownership structure through an official website, since the obvious domain name belongs to the Cocoa Beach restaurant instead.

Given the ocean view location, the seafood-forward menu, and its position within the small resort-adjacent dining cluster at the north end of Singer Island, Coconuts on the Beach reads as a legitimate, independently run beachfront restaurant. Anyone visiting should treat it as its own establishment rather than assuming a connection to any similarly named restaurant elsewhere on the Florida coast.

The resort setting at the north end of Singer Island tends to draw a mix of hotel guests and locals looking for a reliable oceanfront meal without venturing further south toward the more concentrated restaurant row on Ocean Avenue and Beach Court. Its all-day hours, open from late morning until 11 PM every night of the week, make it a flexible stop for lunch, dinner, or a late-afternoon drink with a water view.
