One cannot talk about Tims on the Bay without highlighting its top-tier location. Situated to maximize breathtaking views of the bay and the aquamarine waters of Jimmy Hill Beach, the restaurant offers a dining experience like no other. The combination of natural beauty and carefully crafted aesthetics creates a setting that elevates the overall enjoyment of every meal.
We find that Tim’s on the Bay is a perfect stop for guests that arrive early to the island on their check-in date. If you make your way into Georgetown when you land, you will see it on your left hand while driving on the Queens Highway. Most homes have a check-in time of 3:00pm or 4:00pm, and therefore you may have some time to spend prior to checking into your vacation rental. Additionally, sure to budget time for grocery pickup at one of the local grocery stores such as Exuma Markets or Prime Island Meats if your property manager hasn’t done this for you already.
One fun fact is that this home is walkable from the beach from one of our vacation rentals: Villa Oceania! Be sure to check it out if you’re looking for a home with a restaurant within walking distance from your Villa.
