My personal FAVORITE spot for fish lovers! Escoveitch, brown stew, steam, grilled you name it. Along with other great meals at a good price with nice scenery on the water. Located in Greenwood. About a 20 minute drive away but well worth it!

Im going to call the Pelican a historical landmark. Has been around for decades and for a very good reason. Great food (my favorite the oxtail, my husbands the curry goat and most importantly you must order a malt shake, yum!), and has a great local breakfast menu for your Ackee fix. It’s indoor dining with ac for those super hot days. Depending on what you order i would give it a moderate rating for pricing.

Another spot to go if you want to mix it up from Jamaican cuisine. Uncorked is known for their wine selection and a variety of appetizers, pastas, salads and entrees. A fan favorite is the Judy salad and the baked brie.

Great views to sit down with a drink and watch people tackle the inflatable obsatcle course on the water or people watch up on top of the hip strip. Food is on the pricey side but they do serve up some good nachos and burgers.

Cool experience to witness the natural phenomenon of millions of dinoflagellates (microscopic organisms) glowing in the night waters. A tour boat will take you on a 45 minute tour around the lagoon where it is optional to swim among the glow
