Easy Stroll. A meal and a beach coctail? The Fish Pier is less than a mile. Seeing the Fish Pier in action is a treat. Nickersons Fish Market has excellent take out food and sandwiches. Then stroll along Shore Road to CBI Beach Bar. The drinks are very expensive, but who cares. You can even stroll back through town by taking Chatham Bars Ave.

Excellent "Island" food and cocktails, frequented by locals. The jerk chicken or pork is a great deal, or the dinner specials are always great. Rum Punch! You can always walk home to the Chat Flat.
