The Pink Elephant
A Boca Grande tradition with a character all its own.
Just a short stroll from The Inn, The Pink Elephant — affectionately known as “The Pink” — has been serving up fresh Florida flavors and signature cocktails for over 60 years. Set along the Boca Grande Bayou, it’s a lively, welcoming spot where island locals and Inn guests gather for relaxed lunch and dinner in a charming, coastal setting.
Comfort food with a coastal kick.
Executive Chef Rob Plesh puts a thoughtful spin on local seafood and regional favorites. Whether you’re settling into the downstairs pub, upstairs dining room, or breezy patio, The Pink delivers bold flavors, warm service, and a laid-back spirit — best enjoyed with their signature Spicy Pink in hand.
