Skipper’s on the Beach
Drinks with a view (l,d; $–$$)
Location, location, location. Skipper’s on the Beach has one of the best spots on the bay. Its upstairs bar and rooftop terrace above the Cruising Club (membership not necessary) offer dreamy sea views through the palm trees, and glorious sunsets. You can also take your drinks down to the picnic tables on the sand. Watersports and sailing opportunities are on the doorstep and sun-loungers with umbrellas are also available. On Sunday evenings there’s live music.
Drinks prices are average, with cocktails BD$16 and Banks BD$7, and the fairly priced light bar snacks of salads, sandwiches and catch of the day hit the spot – try the cheesy garlic bread and the curried wrap.
