It's actually not fairly new, been around for a couple of years. I think many people, like me, are not going to travel down that road to get there, thus have not tried it. Glad that you enjoyed it though.

Do they offer free loungers if you purchase food or drink there like some places do? FACEBOOK PAGE Message them and see what you can find out.

I am terrified of heights. The road goes around on the side of the mountain down to the beach, with a huge drop-off on the side. To get there, go up over the mountain toward P'burg and basically right at the roundabout on the hill, take off toward the right and meander on down the mountain side to the water. NOT for me!

Can you still get there by taking the “low road”. It used to be a right coming from Simpson Bay, before the daily grocery store. Kind of where it becomes a one lane road heading to town. Looks like you can take the Cay Hill Rd off of Welfare Rd before the Daily Extra and avoid a lot of the hill.

Not any scarier than the road to Anse Marcel. mmmmm I think a bit scarier than because of he steep drop-off. There are also some condos in that area. Wasn't this place there under another name? Can' remember name but it didn't get great reviews. If it has sold then worth a try based upon kitkat's report.

Scubaman--have you been there? I haven't, but looking at it from the main road, the road to Indigo looks like it involves a HUGE drop-off by the side of the road, for virtually the whole drive. The road to Anse Marcel goes up and down and around, certainly, but does not involve a huge drop-off by the side of the road for almost the whole drive.

I was going to mention the fact that you had been there and mentioned it. Wasn't it named something else prior and it didn't fare too well due to prices?

Yes. It was very expensive. I can't recall the name but I'll probably wake up in the middle,of the night and it will flash on me. It was called Kokomo. We went there once, but never got the chance to see how expensive it was, as the staff was incredibly rude. I don't spend time, or money, where I'm not welcome. We haven't been back since they changed ownership, as we don't really love that beach area.

Island friends had the same experience there, Georgia, and they left for a location more amenable to their patronage. I will never get the rudeness thing and certainly not when you’re attempting to promote a business to new potential clientele. But I guess that’s why it’s no longer called Kokomo and is under different management now.
Respectfully,

I may have to check it out soon. Is the beach decent there or is it pretty rocky?

Agree with Linda, there is no drop off on the road to the beach bar.

I may have to check it out soon. Is the beach decent there or is it pretty rocky? When we were there the beach was very rocky, but I read that the new owners were bringing in sand to improve that. Don't know if that was actually done or not.

It's a man made beach. They are always bringing in sand because mother nature doesn't want it there!

Thanks. The problem with bringing in sand (as they did in front of Royal Palm) is it is usually not the greatest sand and it doesn't always stay in place.
From what I recall, Kokomo did not get many positive reviews at all.

Had a terrible experience at Kokomo. The new Indigo Bay was wonderful!

Had a terrible experience at Kokomo. The new Indigo Bay was wonderful! Glad to hear that Elaine! How is the beach there? As you know, we like to spend the day on the beach and enjoy a nice lunch there as well. Not sure I'd go there just for food, unless it wasn't a good beach day.

Can you still get there by taking the “low road”. It used to be a right coming from Simpson Bay, before the daily grocery store. Kind of where it becomes a one lane road heading to town. You mean right in Cole Bay? Goes past the stables correct? Yes...take a right at Cay Bay Road then stay left at the fork. Stay right at the next fork and it becomes Indigo Bay Blvd...you avoid that terrifying height Carol....lol I went when it was Kokomo and vowed to never return. May attempt to try Indigo.

We really did enjoy our lunch here. Beautiful spot, excellent service and we all really enjoyed our food. A lovely afternoon!
Hope we can do it again when a certain friend flies in from the Pacific Northwest!
