Laid Back Beach Bars

Chat ‘N’ Chill is the brainchild of Exuma native Kenneth Bowe. Boaters, yachties and visitors come from around the world to enjoy the casual laid-back atmosphere of the volleyball beach bar and grill on Stocking Island. Customers can sip on a freshly made Bahama Mama from the chillologist crew and well, chill. Santana’s Grill Pit is a seaside open-air restaurant and the hot spot on Little Exuma. After a long day at the beach, grab a drink and some food here – a favorite of the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean. Big D’s Conch Shack has the freshest — and according to locals, best — conch salad; look for the splatter-painted seaside shack. Bring a bathing suit to enjoy the beach here as well.

If you are looking for a good time, we can point you in the right direction. Action can be found at Club Peace and Plenty. Activities such as poolside parties and live bands continuously keep both visitors and locals on the dance floor. The Fish Fry, a cluster of shacks 2 miles north of George Town always has something going on. On Monday nights there’s a rake ‘n’ scrape band and a DJ is usually there on Friday and Saturday. For residents of February Point, enjoy a nightcap and an evening of stargazing at The Beach Club.
