Convenient place to grab a meal while touring the island. Local vendors rent space from a parallel strip of stalls where they sell food, drinks, snacks, produce, souvenirs and more. Nelson's Grill House and A&E Fresh Fruit Juices did the trick for us. Also a good place for a bathroom break, but bring some change as there's a small charge for keeping the potties clean.
Nelson's Grill House serves up a tasty plate of grilled Caribbean style chicken with your choice of sides. They do their cooking on site and in full view at The Shacks. Stop here for lunch or dinner, and grab a fruity shake a few doors down at A&E Fresh Fruit Juices. Once you have your grub, head over to the covered picnic tables to chow it down.
A&E Fresh Fruit Juices is the place to grab a Mango Shake on a hot afternoon. They set up in The Shacks - a parallel strip of rented stalls from which local vendors cook and sell food (mostly Caribbean style), snacks, souvenirs and more. Quick and easy stop, complete with covered picnic tables and (pay) restrooms.

Our cottage was right on the beach and we went to bed each night with the sound of quiet waves lulling us to sleep. We went for a diving trip and Cabrits Dive Shop was a short walk away making it very convenient. The beach is beautiful! Staff was kind and kept the place clean and neat.
