Exuma dining

[liamsaunt]

For the next week I am staying on Little Exuma in the Bahamas. We decided to come down without knowing much about the island, or making any advance plans.  It seemed like the kind of place where you can do that.  View from the air

 

 

The airport is small. This is the terminal.

 

 

We are staying on Little Exuma. There’s not much here, which is how we like it. We got to the house just before sunset. This is part of the outdoor area

 

 

Here’s the kitchen

 

 

The giant snack bowl and bottle of rum was left for us by the house management. All the grocery stores close early, and there are no places nearby to get dinner. I did research enough to know that, so brought down a small cooler with some food for our first night and made dinner from that.

 

This morning was a beautiful sunny day

 

 

This is the beach our house is on. All beaches in the Bahamas are public, but you cannot access them over private land.  I think there’s a public path over that rock outcropping you can see at the end of the beach. 

 

 

And this is the beach next to the one that we are staying on. There’s a public path between the two

 

 

We headed out in search of a late lunch and drove down a rough and steep road to end up at Haulover Bay restaurant and bar.

 

 

The menu was just a chalk sign, offering fried or grilled snapper, grilled shrimp, grilled chicken, or a grilled steak, all with pigeon peas and rice and either vegetables or corn.  Cash only.  We chose the snapper and the shrimp and went outside to find a place to sit

 

 

 

I had a lemongrass iced tea, and husband had a mint drink

Everything was really tasty, and the setting was fantastic, with a wonderful breeze.

No, there were four or five, just piled on top of each other in that little dish. It was enough food for me.

just the sort of Mirage I need today .

 

Snow to be dealt with by Maurice and Me.

Looks like a nice little hideaway!  I hope you enjoy....  although that must be the smallest snapper I've ever seen!  But certainly enough for 1 person - most snappers are for 2.
