Pelican Bar
Built on a submerged sandbar 1km out to sea, this thatch-roofedeatery on stilts provides Jamaica’s – and perhaps the planet’s – most enjoyable spot for a drink. Getting there is half the fun: hire a local boat captain (you can book passage from Jake’s for US$30). The clientele is a mix of enchanted travelers and repeat-business fishermen who while away the hours playing dominoes, talking on their cell phones, checking the cricket scores or exchanging pleasantries with the self-satisfied owner. In between Red Stripes, or perhaps before your meal of lobster, shrimp or fish, feel free to slip into the salubrious waters for a dip.

Jack Sprat Café
An excellent barefoot beachside eatery affiliated with Jake’s, this appealing joint features vintage reggae posters and an old jukebox as well as a lively bar scene that spills onto the tree-shaded patio. Jack Sprat warms to any crowd or time of day, and offers a diverse menu of sandwiches, salads, crabcakes, smoked marlin and lobster as well as excellent jerk or garlic shrimp. A superb array of pizzas is available at night, and every meal should end with some of the superb ice cream.

New Den
In the former home of a colonial family with an affinity for wickerwork, this refined Jamaican eatery serves up excellent fish and chips as well as curried or barbecued chicken. If you’re especially hungry, try the mixed grill, which lets you pick any three grilled meat or fish dishes on the menu.
