The drive back to Cruz Bay from Coral Bay restaurants

[martini girl]

We've never been to Coral Bay and would like to try a restaurant or two for dinner (Shipwreck Landing or Island Blues perhaps?). We're staying near Cruz Bay. What's the drive back to Cruz Bay like after dinner in Coral Bay? Is this something we should really attempt to do prior to dark or will we be okay as first-timers coming back in the dark?

Don't worry about the drive. I'd rather drive Centerline during the evening hours rather than during the day when the cement trucks are on the road.

In my opinion it depends on what part of yankeeland that you live as to what you are used to. Me myself, I live in redneckville where we dodge cows, deer, chickens and drunk rednecks stopped in the road spot lighting racoons at night is very common. We took Pia and Les out to Sweet Plantains last time and one person in our party refused to eat what they had. Les made a call to Ronnie's in Cruz at 8:45pm for a large pep to go. I made it across the mountain in 15 min. Yep, live a little to close to Charlotte Motor Speedway. signed: Ricky Jorgy

If you watch your speed and keep your alcohol consumption to a reasonable level you should be fine. The speed limit is 20mph for a reason.

Oh, and watch out for RickyJ delivering pizzas.

Cheers, RickG

Dag gone Ricky Jorgy you be fast you drive like the locals do. Maybe ya could get a job delivering pizzas for Ronnies in that little car they got. Probably have to put a turbo on it to get the kinda performance needed for fast deliveries.

Martini girl-
Since you haven't been to Coral Bay yet, why not try going to Salt Pond (great beach) and then trying Shipwreck or Island Blues for lunch. This way you will be familiar with the roads on that side and maybe not so intimidated to go to dinner. We always stay on the Cruz Bay side but venture over to Salt Pond aleast once and go to Shipwreck ,Island blues or Skinny Legs for lunch. And yes, watch out for Ricky Jorgy AKA "The Bandit"
