Nippers....NIPPERS!

Nippers is the most famous beach bar in all the Islands. Our first stop is Grabbers Sunset Beach Bar, where you park your family car (tender) at the beach and have your first taste of Guana Cay. After a couple of rum drinks to make sure you don't de-hydrate on the long walk to Nippers, you pass Milo's. Milo is the self-appointed mayor of Great Guana Cay. He sell fruits, vegetables, and all kinds of shell stuff. Next stop is Pirates Cove. Pirates Cove is a funky little tiki bar on the side of the street (if you can call it a street) where you can enjoy another cold one. Hey....It's a long walk to Nippers. We were so excited to get to Nippers, that we didn't stop at Pirates Cove and pushed on. Next you see the signs pointing to Nippers. You start up the hill past the cemetery (people who never made it all the way back from Nippers are buried there) and the old fig tree, and you are at Nippers. The first thing you see are the bright colors and the swimming (drinking) pools with hammocks. Just past that pool and up the steps is the upper pool. From there you go up the steps to the deck that overlooks the Atlantic and a fabulous beach. DANGER, DANGER ahead, there's the bar that serves Nipper punch with free floaters. A day at Nippers is like no other. Now we know why, in the song about Nippers, Barefoot Man sings about rolling down the hill. Remember, Nippers is on a hill. Well some of us who shall remain nameless now understand.
We had a great afternoon at Nippers (from what some of us remember) and this coming Sunday is the pig roast at Nippers, and we are going to take the Gypsies (Doug and Tammy) there. They fly into Marsh Harbour on Saturday, and Sunday, Nippers will be our first stop. All I can say is OMG. Lock the doors and shield the children's eyes. We haven't seen each other for months, and it could get ugly.

I love this picture at Grabbers.

First stop, Grabbers. Need to replenish the fluids before the long walk to Nippers. That's Jay and Nancy with our two adopted children, Jesse and Brittany.

This must be the way.
