12a Buoy is an unassuming restaurant located at Fisherman's Wharf, right on the edge of the Indian River Lagoon. This local favorite trades white tablecloths for a laid-back environment where the focus remains on high-quality seafood. The small kitchen produces a variety of fresh dishes, including their signature lobster mac and cheese, smoked fish dip, and blackened sushi-grade scallops.
The atmosphere is distinctly nautical and relaxed, making it an ideal stop for those looking to unwind with a cold beer or glass of wine while watching the boats. Situated next to a public boat ramp, it offers a front-row seat to the maritime culture of Fort Pierce. Note that the establishment does not accept reservations and is typically closed on Tuesdays.
