My absolute favorite beach bar/restaurant for years has been the Friars Bay Beach Cafe but if I read correctly, they are now charging for chairs.
My second choice today is probably El Zafiro since it's not a busy beach in that area and the owners have created a pleasant environment with beach fare that I enjoy coupled with the fact it's convenient to where we stay.
And my third would probably be Dreams for the quality of beach furnishings and food but it would be tied with Mary's Boon, not for the chairs or the food, but for the fact I find the beach to be nicer than that of Dreams.
And if I'm paying for chairs and umbrellas, my personal favorite is Mullet with lunch of ribs and fries at Rosie's - it doesn't take much to make us happy at lunchtime - but I think the Restaurant at Anse Marcel is the best of the best for all of the above - setting, furnishings, food and beach accessibility, even if it is a little pricey and for sure, out of the way for those of us in the quiet little corner we call home. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

If you're familiar with Sunset Bar and Grill, at the entrance gates to Alegria turn hard left and follow the road all the way, hugging the airport runway on your left until you get to the gate at the end of the road for Beachside Villas and E Z Beach is right there on your right.

Depends which day. Personally I love Karakter in Simpson Bay, however, Sundays the place is really packed. The food is excellent there. Again, my opinion!

It is Simpson Bay Beach closer to the Sunset Beach Bar area than the Simpson Bay area. Right next to Beachside Villas. The beach is beautiful. The water clear and blue. The view is nice. It's not rough nor is it like swimming in a pool. We kinda fell in love with it.

GaKaye said: Just to clarify, you were charged $10 per person, so $20 for two of you, AND you were eating there? Most places charge $20 for two chairs and an umbrella, even if you're not eating there. Yes, we paid $30 for the 3 of us.

That's a bit of a hiccup. I'm drawing a blank but thinking they DON'T accept credit cards......has that changed? Sounds like we may end up spending more days at Anse Marcel Beach given the new charge for chairs at FBBC.

Sounds like we may end up spending more days at Anse Marcel Beach given the new charge for chairs at FBBC. I'm pretty sure they still don't accept CCs. I just automatically use cash there, so if a change has occurred, I'm unaware of it.

Each time we've gone to Anse Marcel, the beach attendant has greeted us at the edge of the sand and escorted us to our chairs and asked if we already had a lunch reservation and at that point, he told us the fees for the chair set-ups and put them on our tab for the day. Depending on the EU rate for the day, the option is always yours to pay cash or by cc and to choose $ or Eu at your discretion.
There's something almost decadent about sitting on that beach and enjoying a nicely chilled flute of champagne or proseco, all the while enjoying the beautiful view spread out around you. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
