Best Beach Bar - Grand Turks

Been to Margaritaville...don't really want to pay the ungodly fees for beers...is there a good beach bar with better prices and a good beach that we can grab a taxi to?

Just walk to Jack's Shack. Look to the left as you walk down the Quay to the cruise center. Jack's is right on the beach, just before the smaller Quay to your left.

Jacks can be as expensive for beer and drinks as MV. Crew Bar, next to MV, is a tad cheaper, as I recall.

we just walked past Margaritaville and the next bar had buckets for next to nothing with conch fritters as well - delicious

:confused: Really ... How much were the buckets of beer? They weren't dirt cheap when we walked over there.

We didn't find it very much less expensive especially since they didn't add a 15% tip like Margaritaville does. It certainly was way less crowded.

I walked down the beach last week and saw a sign for $2.00 local beer with what seemed to be free chairs (only one umbrella though). It was between Margaritaville and Jack's Shack.

What about places in town for a drink and nice view of the water?

The Sandbar is great! Right by Manta House and close to downtown Cockburn. Right on the water, great conch dishes, etc. Short cab ride will get you there in 10 minutes from cruise center.

We have stayed at Manta House during two trips to Grand Turk. Excellent.

I'll second the Sandbar. Those two owners hustle and service is great and food is delicious.

If you go to Sandbar, is it easy to catch a cab back to the pier? Taxi's hanging around?

Just ask someone working at the Sandbar--they will phone for a cab.

About how much was the cab fare?

$5 pp each way. Sandbar is in Zone B.

we sat right near Margaritaville but just walked the short distance to the first beach bar, got a bucket of beers and conch fritters - yumm - and so much cheaper and QUICKER - even though we were literally 10ft from the bar, it took hours to get a drink and we could walk, get a bucket, and be back in less than half an hour

Absolutely loved Jack's Shack and will be returning there next time around! Great service, fun atmosphere. Yes the drinks were a little on the pricey side but to us it was definitely worth it.

Does Jack's rent floats?
