Caddy’s on the Beach Lives for Another Day – In an epic battle between the State and a beach bar, the beach bar won out as Caddy’s on the Beach got to stick around and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.

Anguilla’s Trattoria Tramonto Opens a Beach Bar – It’s not a new concept, adding a beach bar to your existing restaurant or resort, but it seems to be picking up steam lately. Anguilla’s high end Trattoria Tramonto was the latest one to join the party, opening their new beach bar earlier this year.
