Santanna's Bar & Grill.

Perched on the edge of the Atlantic in Little Exuma’s William’s Town, Santanna’s Bar & Grill is a quintessential Bahamian shack where the view of the turquoise water is as much a draw as the kitchen. The menu centers on fresh, local seafood, with the crispy fried lobster standing out as the definitive order. What distinguishes the food here are the proprietary seasonings and the signature caramelized onion and peppa sauces, which regulars often buy by the jar. The deck carries a bit of cinematic history as a former hangout for the *Pirates of the Caribbean* cast, but the vibe remains decidedly low-key and authentic. After a meal, visitors typically wander next door to Mom’s Bakery for a slice of rum cake or head down to the shoreline to watch for sharks circling the crystal-clear shallows.
