Bernie's Tiki Hut & Bar is a family-run beach bar and seafood spot on Taino Beach in Freeport, Grand Bahama, run by Bernie and Anton.
They have been welcoming visitors since 2008, and plenty of guests come back year after year.
For years the hut stood at Silver Cove, near Island Seas Resort. Today you'll find it on Taino Beach, by The Stoned Crab and Pirate's Cove.
