In-Depth Information
The place can get rowdy, fights often break out. Here's a promise, you won't suffer from
ennui here. Pronunciation is key: vickum.
Gusty's
BAR
(Coconut Grove St, Dunmore Town) Things get funky around 11pm at this ramshackle cot-
tage crouched over the surf on the island's north end, with live music, dancing and pool. It
claims to be Jimmy Buffett's original Margaritaville, but let's take that with a grain of salt
(and a squeeze of lime).
SHOPPING
Harbour Island's not kidding around when it comes to boutiques, even earning kudos from
Travel + Leisure
as the best Caribbean island for shopping. Be sure not to miss the water-
front
straw market
