Santanna’s Grill

The Exumas


Run by the formidable Denise Rolle, this superbly situated shack restaurant offers the best-value fresh lobster in the Exumas, and its many regulars often entertain diners with increasingly tall stories from the Pirates of the Caribbean shoot, part of which took place at nearby Sandy Point. There’s also a great (if rocky) beach just a few meters from the bar.
