Take a left just past which palm tree, exactly? \u00a0But therein lies the beauty. You\u2019re in the Caribbean, literally an island paradise. Who needs directions? Barbados, the easternmost island in the Caribbean, is no different.<\/p>\n<p>Ju Ju\u2019s Beach Bar might just be worth the effort. Located near Holetown on the island\u2019s west coast, this little idyllic bar and restaurant is right on the beach with a front-row seat for simply breathtaking sunsets.<\/p>\n<p>The view isn\u2019t the only thing worth making the trip for! Ju Ju\u2019s boasts some of the best Barbadian fresh-cut fries (chips in the local parlance) and grilled fish \u2014 just consult their daily blackboard menu. But let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s hard to go wrong with grilled flying fish. Seriously, flying fish.\u00a0So kick back on a lounger and take in the beach with a glass of their not-too-sweet rum punch.\u00a0And before you do, consider bringing a snorkel and mask, and enjoying the nearby reef and swimming with turtles.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it\u2019s hard to go wrong with Ju Ju\u2019s Beach Bar, other than actually finding it. For those willing to take the trip, it\u2019s tucked between the better-known Fairmont Pavilion and Lone Star Inn, behind a lime-green house with a \u201cDive Barbados\u201d sign.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, we know those are some seriously questionable directions, but Juju\u2019s is definitely worth the journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2015, I launched a blog for Margaritaville.com.
