Honestly, I thought they should have done more research on SXM before they named it the same as their place on STT. Carol Hill

"Have you seen my dinghy? To avoid confusion and our guests going to the WRONG Dinghy’s we’ve shortened our name to D’s Beach Bar & Grill. Who needs a dock when you’ve got the beach 🏝️ "

I could have sworn that sign said “Captain D’s”!!! Maybe it did at one point. Captain D’s is a US chain so wonder if it was copyright infridgement stuff 🤷‍♀️

Still the same. Seems odd they didn’t think about that before opening so maybe it the original dinghy bar made them change it for legal reasons?
