I'm not from Coral Bay but we do keep our boat there. Joe's is no longer there. In its place is a market called Love City. For a small store their stock is excellent. Since you have been there it has grown considerably. More water sports, new shopping complex and restaurant. It has not lost its charm but it is growing more than some us would like. Lots more homes too. There is a strong possibility that a marina will be built there. It will have docks and other facilities. Skinny's is still there as well as Sputnik. There's a breakfast place called M&M Donkey diner that is excellent. What else would you like to know?

thanks for the info...knew it was growing fast...is cases by the sea or blue water seafood @ calabash boom still there? we have been looking at the websites for skinny's and woody's looking for people we met while there but haven't seen most of them...people like dozer tom, pirate bill, mexican steve, stonemason brian, didn't know if it grew too much for them or what...thanks for responding....talk w/you soon....Brian & Chrissie

WOW...mspohlman! What can you tell me about a villa named Siempre Azul in Coral Bay/Friis Bay? We are staying there this June.

There are so many villas in this area that I am not familar with all of them. Sorry but I don't know this villa by name. You won't be disappointed and you'll love St. John. Have a great vacation. I can't wait to get back down there.

Zuni, I might have met some of the people you named but I'm not sure about those names. So many people are in and out of Skinny's and so many of them fit the descriptive names that you gave. I"m sure that you know that the turnover rate is great on island. Someone just opened a restaurant at the old Seabreeze. I think that I saw Cases by the Sea recently.

all those guys are still around, there is lots of new stuff in coral bay.
joes is now love city mini mart,
there is voyages/now closed and a new shooping plaza with around 10 new shops and a soon to open gourmet grocery store. the still was pepe's, don carlos, serafina now island blues...pretty cool place. skinny's is still around and the shopes and art gallery remain the same....

thanks, glad to know the local color is still around... is the shopping plaza across from island blues? i think they were building it when we were there last....tell brian (long blond hair/ stonemason) his friend brian from arizona said hi....we are planning a trip...but will prob be further into the summer when rates go down a bit....thanks again for all the information....Brian & Chrissie

Mex. Steve??? If anybody sees him tell him to get his @%# on here and send me a note.... planning to visit soon and need to arrange a dinghy charter excursion. Rum anad cokes mandatory!!!z2

seimpre Azul is a very private place with the best hot tub I have ever been in. The sounds of the waves are great and it is an easy house to get to. You are lucky to stay there.

Thanks for the info MJ. How far is it from the Dock in Coral Bay (behind firehouse?!?)? Also...how far is it from a resturant named Chateau Bordeaux??
