Deadman's Beach Bar & Grill

The Scene: Don't let the name scare you off. Sure, legend has it Blackbeard marooned 15 mutinous men nearby and it didn't end pretty (rum and a sword were involved), but that just makes this Caribbean hideaway more interesting. The bar, camouflaged by sea grape trees, towering palms, and a cedar shake roof, also gets special kudos for allowing passing sailors to stop by for a drink even though this is an exclusive private island.

Signature Drink: The Peter Island Special, three rums, apricot brandy, and tropical juices; $12.

Don't Miss: Sunday's steel-drum band at lunch and Wednesday's stilt walkers.
