The area:
There is a very nice new restaurant Bistro One on the waterfront 200 yards along Discovery Bay beach. Cocomos, a long time local favourite is 4-5 minutes walk along the sand in Holetown
There is a great beach bar - Surfside - which has satellite TV showing all the main UK premier league football matches and West Indies cricket. Football widows will be encouraged to know there is a shopping mall so the plastic can be exercised while the old chap drowns his sorrows as his team lose.
Holetown is exactly five minutes walk away. It is the place where the first English settlers arrived. It has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and boutiques. The modern shopping mall has an excellent supermarket. Bridgetown is about 15-20 minutes away to the South by bus or car.
Colourful and bustling Speightstown is 6 miles away - 15 minuts and 40p on the reggae (yellow) bus which stops outside Art Studio.
