    Conveniently located on Kim Sha Beach, between the Atrium Beach Resort and the Simpson Bay Beach Resort, this bar can provide you delicious frozen drinks, a slice of pizza, burgers and fish from the grill, a beautiful sunset, and a beach bonfire on Sunday. Live music on Wednesday and Sunday and a daily happy hour from 5 to 7 makes this spot popular with both travelers and locals. Their small parking lot fills quickly; there is some on-street parking near the entrance, but parking can be a huge challenge here.

    This popular plane spotting bar and restaurant near the ocean edge of the Princess Juliana International Airport runway has a relaxed, anything-goes atmosphere. Watch big planes fly very low over your head a few seconds before landing, while you enjoy a BBC (Bailey's banana colada), or a bucket of beers. Bring your camera for stunning photos, but expect a high noise level. Note: drinks here can be quite pricey, and it is very busy when cruise ships are in port. There's live music on Sunday and occasionally on weeknights.

    Join the young local crowd by walking through the T-shirt boutique, re-opened in 2019, and around the back to the sea. Then pull up a beach chair or park yourself at a picnic table. It's open all day, but the fun really begins at the cocktail hour, when everyone enjoys tapas. The covered deck is romantic. On Thursday and Sunday there has often been live reggae on the beach.

    For those who don't want to leave the beach vibe after the sun goes down, this elegant rooftop pulses with techno and house music while guests lounge on beds in cabanas. (In case of rain, there's a tent.) Sand volleyball is fun, and the happening bar serves delicious cocktails. Great views and stargazing come with the territory. In-the-know clubbers come here before Tantra starts to wake up after midnight. It's open every day from 4 pm until 1 am. The website lists special events and parties.

    This happening spot has featured live music late into the night since the late 1980s. On the night of the full moon and on every Friday night, the beach bonfire and late-night party here is the place to be, but it's a great place to hang out all day long on chaises you can rent for the day. Be sure to ask Kali for some tastes of his homemade fruit-infused rum.
