White Sound; r $235-550; ) On the
island's southern tip, seven fresh and modern cottages sit serenely on a manicured lawn
overlooking the water. A 60-slip marina draws the yachties, who wine and dine at the on-
site Boat House restaurant. If that's not your thing, just hop the free shuttle to town.
EATING & DRINKING
Dining options on Elbow Cay are relatively limited, especially on Sundays, though all the
hotels have their own restaurants.

Cheers
' barflies
Norm and Cliff drank beer in Abaco, this wood-planked watering hole is where you'd
likely find them. Locals linger over burgers, salads and fish sandwiches at tight booths in-
side, while tourists opt for marina views on the waterside deck. Everyone heads here for
live music on Wednesday and Friday nights. Try the bar's Jack Hammer (copious rum,
vodka and Tia Maria), guaranteed to get you jiving.
Harbour's Edge
BAHAMIAN, AMERICAN $$
(Queens Hwy; mains $8-25; lunch & dinner Wed-Mon) The deck here stretches out
over the water with excellent views of the lighthouse and harbor, perfect for lingering sun-
downer drinks and meals. The Over the Edge cocktail (Matusalem rum, banana rum and
fruit juices) was the result of a three-week taste testing.
Vernon's Grocery
GROCERY STORES
(Bay St; 8am-6pm Mon-Fri, to 7pm Sat) Whether or not you need groceries, be sure
to pop into Vernon's, where the shelves are papered with handwritten note cards bearing
quirky food-related wisdom like 'in a world of Cheerios, be a Fruit Loop.' Homemade jams
and guava cake are also big draws.
Reef Bar & Grill
BAHAMIAN, AMERICAN $$
(Hope Town Harbour Lodge, Queen's Hwy; mains $14-20; lunch & dinner) Lunch at
the Reef is worth it for the accompanying pool privileges alone. Burgers and wraps keep
things casual, while brunch, with its five different types of eggs Benedict, is a major event.
