Restaurants, Real Estate & Businesses in Miller Beach

Over 45 years in Miller I’ve seen restaurants and eateries come and go. The same with businesses. No effort here to keep up with the changing scene, but with a drive around one can spot interesting places to chow down. There are some old standbys though that have been around as long as I have been around in Miller, or are old favorites of locals and visitors alike.

Many owners are members of the Miller Business Association which has more up-to-date information hopefully in its directory. Or you can visit Visit Miller Beach's website.

  • Clinical Social Worker:   

    Elaine Spicer, LCSW, "I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and my primary focus is working with families whose children have challenging behaviors. I help parents understand the effects of trauma (grief, loss, medical issues, transitions, divorce, adoption, foster care, multiple school changes, etc.) on the brain and consequently on behavior. I give parents the tools they need to understand their children and learn ways to respond rather than react to negative behavior. I also advocate for children in school when necessary. I have been practicing in the field (working with parents and children) for over 30 years." For an appointment or more information, call 219-512-2642.
