About Old Man and the Sea
The view over the water is spectacular. The atmosphere is completely relaxed. Prices are local rather than tourist. Furthermore, that makes it exceptional value compared to the Palm Beach strip. The food reflects the fishing village it inhabits: fresh, simple, and very good.
What to Order at Old Man and the Sea
The daily catch is the centrepiece — cooked grilled, fried, or in a rich Caribbean fish stew. For example, the conch salad is a local speciality and one of the freshest versions on the island. The garlic butter shrimp with coconut rice is a generous and satisfying dish.
Tips for Your Visit
Worth the 20-minute drive from Palm Beach. Go for lunch or an early dinner. However, arrive before 12:30pm to beat the lunch crowd. Pairing a visit with a stop at Zeerovers next door makes for an excellent afternoon.
