Cash is King
Some smaller establishments are cash-only or may have card machine issues. Bring Bahamian or US dollars as backup.
Fresh Catch
Ask about the fresh catch of the day. Local fishermen bring in grouper, snapper, mahi, and more. It doesn't get fresher!
Island Time
Service moves at a relaxed pace. Embrace it! Order a drink, enjoy the view, and savor the slower rhythm of island life.
