Arawak Cay

Downtown Nassau seems thousands of miles and a couple of dozen years away from the rest of the Bahamas, particularly the Out Island - or Family Islands, as locals call them. Arawak Cay brings a little of the flavor of the Out Islands to downtown's outskirts. The cluster of clapboard buildings reflect Out Island architecture, and the restaurants that reside within take their cues from the true Bahamian cuisine of Andros, Abaco, Eleuthera and other less Americanized and commercialized Bahamian islands. Stop in for lunch or dinner with the locals and stay for the live local music that keeps Arawak Cay lively into the night.
