Nippers Beach Bar & Grill – It's Not In the Brochure!

You may have read about Nippers in travel magazines, seen photos on calendars, or perhaps even seen a documentary on the Discovery Channel -- but you'll never read about Nippers in any travel brochure. Why? Simply, because this particular piece of paradise can't be adequately described in any number of words or photographs. You simply have to experience it for yourself.

Perched high upon a forty-foot dune, Nippers overlooks the Great Abaco Barrier Reef.

Your quest for paradise ends with your discovery of Great Guana Cay. it's easily reached by boat or ferry service from Marsh Harbor. If you have your own vessel and want to spend the night or longer, you can drop anchor in the harbor or hook up on a buoy or dock in a marina.

No reservations are required, but Nippers will accept them upon request. Call 242-365-5143 or hail Nippers on VHF Channel 16. They'll even pick you up from the docks in the settlement with a free ride on the Nipper Mobile! However you choose to visit Nippers, do it soon.

YOU MUST TRY...

Nippers Famous Sunday Wild Boar Pig Roast
All You Can Eat Buffet starting at 12:30

**This place, by the way, is no place for teetotalers. YOU MUST HAVE A FROZEN NIPPER! (That is a drink, by the way.) YOU MUST! IT IS A RULE!! And, there is a lighthearted challenge that no one can drink more than five (5). I recommend having no more than 2 -- spread our over several hours!!!

AND, you must see...

Dress Code: Dress code? Please!! The more colorful, the better!

So Green Turtle Cay, a short 15 minute water taxi from Treasure Cay, is by far my favorite Bahamian island. Please go there! ANyways, once you get to the island (which is pretty easy by the way,) you've got to head to Sundowner's in the famous "Old Downtown" at the southernmost tip of the island. Later, head to Pineapple's just up the road. For a bit more flare and live music, the Green Turtle Club on Marsh Harbor in the middle of the island is a great option.

GTC is only 3 x 1 miles long, so you can navigate the entire island by golf cart in under an hour. If you're going to the Abacos anytime soon, look for GTC!

Dress Code: absolutely whatever

Chicken took me to some night club.
They were playing dominoes for money & they're very serious about it. There was
an outdoor dance floor on the beach & they were playing lots of dance hall reggae.

Dress Code: Casual

The nightlife on The Abaco Islands centres around the bars at Marsh Harbour’s various inns and marinas. And if you arrive too late to catch a favourite artist or group, check around. Most proprietors share schedules and offer live music at different places on different nights. Check locally for schedule updates about who is appearing where.

Whether it’s live music, dancing or local island grooves -- you’ll find it all in the Abaco nightclubs.


Miss Emily's Blue Bee Bar was the most unique night spot I had ever been in.
Everyone dances and has great fun.

Dress Code: Wear cool comfortable casual clothing.
