We’d seen pics before. Many colorful, enticing pics that made us put Nippers on the “list” of beach bars we’d like to visit and were so excited to hear we were going to make a stop at Great Guana Cay during a recent sail through the Abacos. Believe us when we say, Nippers was as colorful and fun as the pics we’d seen and certainly didn’t disappoint. The weather, however, was a different story…
Great Guana Cay was one of the first stops on our itinerary. After all, with two great beach bars (Nippers & Grabbers) and some beautiful beaches, it had Rum Therapy written all over it. Unfortunately, we’d been hit by a bit of an unusual cold snap and although we were still excited to spend time on island, the temp was definitely less than the common tropical temps.
Regardless, as soon as we caught a mooring ball in Guana Harbour, we dinghied to shore and followed the sign down a dirt road to Nippers.
As colorful, if not more so, than the pictures we’d seen, the pool area was…well, pretty quiet due to the cool temps.
Unfazed by the lack of patrons, we made our way in to the main section of the bar.
There, huddled around the bar, was a lively group of die-hard Nippers fans, enjoying, among other things, the infamous frozen Nipper.
We ordered a couple of drinks and checked out the large outdoor bar area.
Then climbed to the top deck for a 360 degree view of the beach 55 ft below.
Nippers has been serving great food and strong drinks with a great view and friendly service for more than 15 years. Apparently, not to be missed is their popular Pig Roast served from 12:30 – 4 every Sunday.
Although it was a little nippy at Nippers that day, we had a good time and can just imagine how much fun it would be to laze in the pool, listen to some live music and enjoy a frozen Nippers…on a much warmer day!
