Easily my favorite beach bar in Saint Lucia, The Naked Fisherman is all kinds of sexy, secluded, and home to the island's very best rum punch.

Facing the sea elevated above the hot sand, a Biere Lorraine within reach, you'll emit your own special brand of radiant heat at Le Petibonum in Martinique.

Music reigns at Soca Cabana. This colorful beach bar on Little Bay is home to one of the island's largest amateur talent competitions: Montserrat Idol.

At Falcon Nest Bar and Grill, Anguilla, the owner supplies the daily catch. The island's freshest seafood, though, isn't the only treat here.

There are lots of good reasons to visit Water Island, the tiny islet just south of St. Thomas. One of the best: the sunsets at Dinghy's Beach Bar.

At Rhythms at Rainbow Beach, monster lobster go into making lobster bites, lobster tacos, and other treats, elevating the good times like never before.

Shell's Beach Bar, Martinique remains unknown to me. This video I just ran across on their Facebook page, though, suggests I need to change that ASAP... 

I was starving and exhausted after hiking the Caravelle Peninsula. A quick stop at Ti Carbet, though, proved the perfect panacea.

If your St. Thomas adventures are of the boozy beach variety, then you’ll want to give Dinghy's Beach Bar & Grill on Water Island a try.
