Ivan's Beach Dinners (Holandes Cays)

9° 35.4′ N · 78° 40.5′ W · approximate

Guna-run beach dinners in the East Holandes, where crews book a seat for grilled fish, octopus and lobster on the sand; one of the few 'restaurants' in the outer cays.

Practical

Coordinate approximate (set near the Swimming Pool/BBQ Island area). Walkabout (ARC, March 2023) enjoyed a beachside dinner at 'Ivans' and a separate alfresco dinner of local fish, octopus and lobster with beer on BBQ Island. Noforeignland lists 'Ibin's Restaurant and Bakery' serving fish and lobster, with bread and pizza boats can order for pickup; it is probably the same operation, but confirm by VHF or with passing ulus. Order a day ahead; cash only. Respect the lobster closure (no lobster during the breeding season).
