One of our favorite watering holes is at Rum Point, which can be reached by boat. Divers and snorkelers, some arriving with stingray "hickeys," join expats and occasional cruise-ship passengers to form a varied age group who appreciates the charms of this laid-back joint. It's the latest reincarnation of an old thatched bar that stood here in the 1950s, during which time a bartender named "Old Judd" is said to have invented the world's first frozen Mudslide. Sunday is the most popular time to visit, when locals arrive in their private boats. In addition to two-fisted drinks, enjoy West Indian food, ranging from conch (fritters or chowder) to jerk pork sandwiches and juicy burgers. You can eat outside at a picnic table under a casuarina tree. The bartender's special is the Attlee Mudslide. Saturday afternoons from 2 to 5:30pm is also a big time here, with a barbecue and live entertainment right on the beach. Open Monday to Friday 10:30am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday 10:30am to 6pm.
