We stopped at Nippers for lunch on our way to Small Harbour from Treasure Cay. We had the cracked lobster and counch fritters along with GoomBay Smashes. Our group decided the meal was the best we had yet experienced in Abaco. We sat on the lower deck (it was windy that day) and enjoyed the amazing view of the water... More

We visited Guana in March for our anniversary. We stayed next to Nippers. We knew that Barefoot man was going to be at Nippers the first weekend we were there and expected it to be busy and loud, which it was. What I didnt expect was that the place was loud and got louder all week long at night and... More

Don't overthink it. It is exactly what it is supposed to be--a restaurant/bar on a beach. Lots of fun. Even (especially?) for two fifty year olds. We were skeptical, especially since it was spring break and we didn't even do spring break thirty years ago. But this place was so relaxed and happy. It was a nice surprise. More

We've been going to Abaco for years now and love it! It's a quiet, relaxing vacation for our busy family. You can do as much as you want, or do nothing at all. There are cays all around that you can visit by boat or ferry, one being Guana Cay and the famous Nipper's! We've gone a few times to... More

This is a classic island beach bar. When you mix a beautiful beach, sand, drinks and music you get fun! Sometimes there is a LOT of fun (things can get rowdy) sometimes there is quieter fun. The casual atmosphere, sand floor and sprawling brightly-colored decks make this bar a must-visit. More

After reading so many places that Nippers was the place to go, we spent $54 for two round trip ferry tickets from Abaco to Great Guana Cay so we could visit Nippers. After our visit, I am honestly not sure why this place is so popular. Sometimes, an attraction's reputation just does not deliver, and this is the case with... More

Nippers is a wild and crazy beach bar. I went for the the weekly Sunday BBQ. I could not believe how everyone there (yes it was crowded) was enjoying themselves. The music was great, the food was good. There is a reef to snorkel on the beach. There is service by golf cart from the dock to the bar. I... More

I have been to Nipper's several times. It is always a lot of fun. The Pig Roast on Suindays is great. Live music and lots of food and drinks. But go early. If you get there in the afternoon you will never find a place to sit. My last visit was last summer. My husband and I were getting married... More

This is a Spring Break party for adults! Bold colors, basically a lavish beach shake housing the strongest rum drinks you will EVER try. If ever visiting the Abacos, this party pit stop is a must! This location is not appropriate for children in my opinion. And if you do not drink alcohol or cannot put up with other drunk... More
