Bing's Landing — Attraction in Florida

We stumbled upon Bing’s Landing by pure chance while driving through the area, and I’m so glad we decided to stop! This hidden gem is packed with history, natural beauty, and a relaxing atmosphere.

The park sits right along the Intracoastal Waterway, offering stunning water views, shaded picnic areas, and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. But what really blew us away was the rich history—Bing’s Landing is home to the remains of a 1790s plantation, complete with an archaeological dig site where you can see the foundation of the original structures. The educational signs around the park provide fascinating insights into the area's past.

Beyond the history, the park is perfect for fishing, boating, and just soaking in the scenery. There's even a boat launch and a fantastic BBQ spot (Captain’s BBQ) right on-site. Whether you're looking for a quick stop or a relaxing afternoon, Bing’s Landing is definitely worth the visit. A must-see for history lovers and nature enthusiasts...

Stopped in Captain's BBQ...was not disappointed. Met the Capt himself..great guy! Staff was very helpful to us first time visitors. I did a sampler of brisket and pulled pork. Side of greens and Mac n cheese( I know diet plate). Also tried a few other items from others in our party..smoked kielbasa, corn muffins, Cuban sandwich and ribs. Pulled pork was probably the best O have had..nice smoked very juicy great flavor. Brisket..really really good. Again nice smoke, tender very good flavor. Greens were solid..now I like em a bit tangy so added some vinegar but very good. Mac n cheese was superb...just wanted more! Cuban was very good..easily rivaled some I have had in South FLA. Ribs tender, juicy..looked like a dry rub that was a bit ro yhe sweet side but also had some nice mid level heat. A definite try if you stop in. Everything you want in a BBQ joint..great people, great food and a unpretentious setting to...

We ate today at Captain's BBQ. My niece ordered the pork tacos and she said they were good. My husband and I got the smoked brisket. We were both disappointed. The meat was very dry. My niece mentioned that the meat was dry because the brisket was smoked. My husband had a salad with his meat. The dressing helped his meal. I only had the meat since I am dairy n gluten-free.There weren't many side options for me. I don't like sauce smothering my meat, but I was hoping it would have been juicy. A customer told us to get an order of burnt ends. I was glad I did. They were delicious. Someone came up to us a couple of times and asked us how everything was. I should have shared my thoughts. We drove forty minutes to get there in the rain. If I was ever in the area, I would stop by to get the burnt ends. For the most part I can't see myself taking that long...
