On a flip coin of what Ellen said....all good ideas, if you are on a budget, you might try Sydans in Sandy Ground....party central in the evening....Pumphouse...Dad's...Elvis's Beach Bar & many restaurants in Sandy Ground....you can just walk from one bar to the next.....
I would book a car as well,easy to drive......too many beaches to see.... & taxi's are expensive.....
Have never stayed at Sydans...have met many who like it.....around $150.00 per night....ferry & car (see Ellen's).....drinks are about 7-10 & beer is around 4....or buy some at the grocery store....breakfast at Valley Bistro...eggs benedict around 12 each.....lots of inexpensive food trucks in The Valley and all are good as are most of the roadside BBQ's.....
have fun.....
Shoal Bay is way too far out and isolated to stay at night.....
To add to Ellen's Sunday's.....there is Gwen's Reggae on Shoal Bay...Bankie Banx (The Dune Preserve).....Dad's on Sunday night..... if you are planning an overnight you might want to book not much left in the inexpensive places......kate<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/canada.gif" alt="" />
