Turtle Cove Marina

In coming rain clouds created a rainbow over Turtle Cove Marina a few days ago.

I love the rosey warmth of the light as the sun goes down made that much better by passing rain clouds that created a beautiful rainbow over Turtle Cove Marina. If you’re looking for some great island food check out the four restaurants located in the marina. Not only will you taste some great dishes but the views out over the water are hard to beat. Say Hi to John at Baci’s and tell him Marta sent you. Mike at Aqua will make sure you enjoy yourselves. Then there’s the Tiki Hut and the Shark Bite too.

See you in Turtle Cove!

Beach Barbecue

Tents are set up and waiting for tonights Full Moon BBQ on the beach infront of the Bay Bistro

Tents are set up and waiting for tonight's Full Moon BBQ on the beach in front of the Bay Bistro

We were down for lunch and pina coladas at the Bay Bistro. We decided that these guys have the BEST pina coladas and yes, lunch was great too.  Chef Clive Whent was busy preparing the prime rib for the “feast on the full moon” barbecue held on the beach by the Bay Bistro.

Did I say Clive was working hard preparing tonight's prime rib?

Well, we  figured it was pretty tiring work watching the prime rib slowly cook on the spit especially when the weather on the beach was just too good to be true. On tonight’s menu will be prime rib and shrimp,  buffet style under the full moon with music and a bonfire…………………$40.00 for adults and $20.00 for kids. Make sure you take in this event if you are here on island for the next full moon. It’s something that shouldn’t be missed!

See you on the beach.

Blue Hills

I love Blue Hills and these colourful kiosks right on the water.

I love Blue Hills and these colourful kiosks right on the water.

Friends from Banff arrived yesterday and today I took them into my favourite area of Blue Hills. We stopped for a drink at Sailing Paradise which is located in these brightly coloured kiosks on the water. What a feast for the eyes……….colours of pink, aqua, blue and orange plus the sunshine cutouts with a turquoise ocean backdrop.
Great deck overlooking the water out at Blue Hills.

The beach for my 60th

Drinks at SOMEWHERE on the beach for my 60th birthday......simply the most spectacular deck overlooking the White House Reef.

Drinks at SOMEWHERE on the beach for my 60th birthday......simply the most spectacular deck overlooking the White House Reef.

My 60th birthday and the three sisters headed for the beach as it was sunny and hot this morning. After basking in the sun, snorkeling and a delicious chicken sandwich snack from SOMEWHERE, we ended the morning with a pina colada and margheritas on the deck. Let me tell you, this spot is a gem, well thought out with high teak chairs and tables set up so that you can see the superb vista of the White House Reef and surrounding turquoise waters.

Imagine yourself sitting here sipping your favourite drink with that gorgeous turquoise ocean as a backdrop. The White House Reef was full of marine fish and Eve also saw a turtle.

I love these tables and chairs and the overall feel of this deck area……….it reminds me of Jimmy’s at the old Island Princess years ago! Some of you may remember back then when we used to go there for breakfast and lunch.  

On your next visit to our beautiful island drop by and say Hi to Carmen at SOMEWHERE on the beach…………a new TexMex restaurant and bar right on the beach at the White House Reef. It will become one of your favourite spots with probably the best view on Provo!

See you there!

Here we are for the start of my birthday week celebrations at Horse-eyed Jacks in Blue Hills.

What a day……….a trip to the beach and then margaritas and pina coladas down in Blue Hills at Horse-Eyed Jacks. Terrific deck overlooking the water, pelicans swooping down to catch fish right infront of us and a cooling breeze blowing off the ocean.

It doesn't get any better than this........sitting sipping a drink on the deck overlooking the sea.

You simply must have a meal and drinks at Horse-Eyed Jacks on your next trip to Provo. It really is one of the best casual places to eat with simply the best view ever…………you’re right there beside the sand and water in Blue Hills which is my favourite local area.

Bay Bistro

The best Sunday breakfast and the best view at the Bay Bistro on Grace Bay.

The best Sunday breakfast and the best view at the Bay Bistro on Grace Bay.

A perfect way to spend a Sunday morning ……….. breakfast overlooking the turquoise ocean while sitting on the deck of the Bay Bistro Restaurant. It just doesn’t get any better than this on our island paradise.  On weekends, the Bay Bistro puts on a great breakfast and brunch and it’s a favourite of many locals and island visitors alike.  This morning was a picture perfect day as we watched the sail boats and hobie cats out on the water catching the gentle breezes.

Come and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner overlooking the ocean on Grace Bay at the Bay Bistro

Rum Bar Bartender at Da Conch Shack

Too much rum??

Too much rum??

Hi everyone,

Today I took some Harbour Club guests to Da Conch Shack on the beach at Blue Hills.  This was their first try at tasting conch which is the local favourite food here on Provo.  We had great conch fritters and the curried conch was exceptional! The guests were entertained by the bartender as they sipped on a traditional rum punch. All in all it was a great day.
