Pelican Bay

Caribbean Coast


At the end of the Pointeen peninsula, this well-situated restaurant has an elevated, breezy balcony with fantastic views across the bay to El Bluff. The house specialty is seafood, and the mixed plate (US$12.50), featuring shrimp, fish and lobster sautéed with herbs, is outstanding.
