Banana Bay - Freeport
This Caribbean restaurant sits right on the beautifully colored ocean, and the outside beachside deck seating has a wonderful view. There is a sand bar where you can walk out into the ocean a couple hundred feet with the water only reaching your knees, so it is fun for children, also.
