Fish-Tossing Fun
Flora-Bama’s Annual Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party is one of the biggest and most exciting weekends on the beach. What started as just a reason to get together and have fun turned into one of the largest beach parties on the Gulf Coast. The highly anticipated 2026 Mullet Toss is happening April 24 through 26, right on the beach at the legendary Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar.
2026 Flora-Bama Mullet Toss & Beach Party
Fish Tossing
Fish Tossing
The mullet toss brings people from all over to Flora-Bama to watch and participate in this entertaining event. On all three days, participants compete from 10 am to 4 pm to see who can throw a dead mullet (the fish, not the hairstyle) the furthest over the Florida and Alabama state line. All ages can partake as the competition is divided into categories by age and gender. Prizes and bragging rights are awarded to the winners of each category.

Complimentary chairs will be available on the beach to sit and watch the competition. Chairs are first come, first serve, so we suggest bringing a blanket or towel to sit on just in case. Guests can hang out inside Flora-Bama and grab food and drinks throughout the event. Sit back, relax, and sip on a cold, creamy bushwacker as you watch the fish fly!

A contribution of each thrown fish goes to local youth charities. Each year, the event raises over $40,000 for organizations helping local schools and drug prevention programs on both sides of the state line. After the event, the tossed mullets are donated to Alligator Alley in Summerdale for the alligators to eat.
