From the reviews

Good food, has a pool (21+ to swim) and a nice bar. At a resort/hotel but on the water and has docks for boat access. Great little place, nice set up outside/ inside . They also do a free shot at sunset which is fun. Good views, good times and friendly fast service. Would recommend. Parking wasn't an issue either.

Great location, good music and tasty food. Staying at the Beso so this place is super convenient for any guests and there is poolside service (tends to be after you have initiated the service by going into the bar first so if you dont see someone, go find them then they know you want some service).

At Marker 8 on the Waterfront, I tried the chicken quesadilla and shrimp, and both dishes were fantastic. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was quick and friendly. Marker 8 is a great spot for a relaxing meal by the water, and I look forward to returning to try more dishes!

If you're looking for a fun, laid-back spot to enjoy food, drinks, and beautiful waterfront views, Marker 8 Tiki Bar & Grill is a great choice. Located right on the intracoastal waters of Dunedin at the Besa Del Sol Hotel, it’s the perfect place to relax and soak in the Florida vibe.

Getting married at Marker 8

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
