    For the freshest—and according to locals, best—conch salad and the coldest beer, look for the splatter-painted seaside shack a stone's throw from Grand Isle Resort. Big D catches the conch right outside the restaurant and the salads are often prepared in front of customers. Other seafood favorites include the grilled snapper, cracked conch and coconut shrimp. You also can't get a better water view here, and the beach is great; bring a swimsuit.

    Yacht folks, locals, and visitors alike rub shoulders at Kenneth Bowe's funky open-air beach bar on the point at Stocking Island. All of the food is grilled over an open fire; awesome conch burgers with secret spices, freshly made conch salad, pulled pork, and ribs attract diners from all over Great Exuma.

Most guests arrive by sailboat but you can get here by water taxi (242/464–1558; or call Capt. Elvis Ferguson on VHF radio channel 16) from the Government Dock, which leaves on the hour during the day.

    If you want to dine where the locals do, hit Sam's. Proprietor Sam Gray owns a complex of businesses in town, including the liquor store. Breakfast is especially favored and Exumians call ahead to see whether the day's menu includes stew fish, boil fish, or souse. Those who don't have time to sit down at the clean, modern café—which overlooks the bay—line up for takeout. Dinner selections are typical—lobster (called "crawfish" here), steak, lamb chops, and cracked conch.
