Fodor's Expert Review The Beach Bar at Hotel on the Cay

For a mini adventure in downtown Christiansted, hop the two-minute ferry to this hotel bar on Protestant Cay for trivia Wednesdays, live music on weekends, and periodic Tiki Tuesday parties with a luau-style buffet, steel pan bands, fire dancers, and moko jumbie performers. The beach bar is open until 10, and the ferry from the Christiansted boardwalk—normally $5 per person for non–hotel guests—is free after 5 pm.
