758-459-7224 Local cuisine $$ Daily, 8am to 10pm All the produce served at The Still is organically grown on the working plantation estate. The resulting meals are fresh and delicious. This is a good place to stop for lunch if you re on a coastal tour or heading into the nearby rainforest. Unfortunately, tour organizers know this, and you may have trouble getting good service if a large group arrives during your meal. At other times, service is friendly and efficient. The menu features seafood, but you can also order beef or pork. Everything is served with local vegetables, such as yams and christophenes.
Back on the Gros Islet Highway, heading north, you ll pass some unsightly commercial and industrial sites before you come to Choc Bay and its superb beach. Watch for turnoffs that lead to the water. Several beach bars and restaurants line the golden sand, and you can enjoy lunch or a snack while observing Rat Island a short distance offshore. Arawak Indians once lived on the outer island, and people with communicable diseases were banished there in the 1800s, but the place is uninhabited now. Nobel laureate Derek Walcott has set up the Rat Island Foundation to attract investors to develop the island into an artist retreat, but visitors aren t allowed, for now.
