Shark Shack

At Shark Shack the motto is, "Come for the food, stay for the party!" This exciting establishment is located right in the heart of the Strand, just a mile from the cruise ship docks. Perfect for watching sports or outdoor dining, this restaurant is a popular hot spot on the island. On the weekend, they crank up the music so it really is a party!

From the outside, this restaurant is very hard to miss. Lining the exterior wall is a colorful and beautiful mural depicting an ocean scene. There is a seahorse, whale, turtle, jellyfish and other sea creatures featured, kids will love it! Additionally, it makes for a great photo spot in the Strand. Also, the restaurant has a prime location on the end of the street. As for parking, there are a few spaces lining the streets of the Strand. If you have no luck with those, there are public parking lots close-by, just a short walking distance away.

There are dining options both outside and inside Shark Shack. Most of the tables are meant for a party of 4-6. The restaurant itself goes decently far back, but it is not very wide. Expect a short wait on the busy weekends. The bar-top is pretty long and offers self-seating and room for about 15 people.
