Editorial Review for Undertow Beach Bar – by Jacklyn Melton

In Short
Relax under thatched tiki huts and palm trees, or get some exercise by joining a sand-pit volleyball game just steps away from the wide deck. Drinks keep flowing and so does a small, trickling stream along the bar, which serves limited grub and tropical cocktails in the shade. Try specialty rumrunners, daiquiris and Kalik, a light Bahamian brew. People-watch or get lost in your own private paradise overlooking sugar-white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.

If you leave your tab open with a credit card, be careful when you check out. More than once I have found drinks on my tab I didn't order! my suggestion is pay as you go

Pros: Great location and atmosphere

Cons: shady bartenders

Not the place for kids! Its basically an outdoor nightclub right on the beach during the day with everyone in swimsuits and you better have a great body, a great tan and look like a model to fit in! Think Spring Break for the 25-40 yr old crowd. Bartenders wear thongs and sarongs with huge bitchy attitudes, which is undesired and not neccesary. The music is good, sometimes they have a DJ or reggae music from a local radio station and volleyballs courts always have games going on. Fresh fish sandwiches are fantastic and other good cheap food! But like I said, NOT a family spot, it is definately for the single/young couple IN crowd. Parking is very limited & crowded on busy days, you can walk up to a mile to park down the beach if your not staying at the local hotels to get there. Weekdays are alot less crowded. Bring your beach chairs & be prepared to stake your spot on their beach front early on weekends. Limited seating in the establisment itself. On busy days be prepared to stand in line for the ladies bathroom. Some people do bring dogs. NOT FOR KIDS, AGAIN, I have seen several times, topless sunbathing and skimpy swimwear! Id hate to see tourists show up expecting a nice beach front lunch with the family.....AND TONS OF ALCOHOL! But do Try the mixed frozen drinks!
