General Info

Little Jim’s dates back to World War II, when Sailors and Soldiers were being trained on North Hutchinson Island. Only authorized personnel could go to the barrier island and the building that is now the bait shop was the guard shack and checkpoint at the bridge. Today, Little Jim’s serves fish tacos, Cubans, shrimp baskets and some of the best fish dip available on the Florida East coast in a general-store sort of atmosphere. There’s outdoor seating, a great view of a mangrove-lined bay called Shorty’s Slough and live music some afternoons and every weekend. You can get to us by land or pull up on your boat. Little Jim’s not only is a good place to buy bait, sandwiches, cold beer and Ice but also a great location to Rent a Paddleboard or kayak and explore the wildlife-filled waters and shore of the lagoon.Little Jim’s dates back to World War II, when Sailors and Soldiers were being trained on North Hutchinson Island.
