St Barth: O'Corail

My spouse and I visited O’Corail for drinks one weekday afternoon during our 4-night stay in late April 2016 at nearby Le Sereno Resort in Grand Cul-de-Sac. The location of O’Corail was a quick walk either on the (side) street or on the beach between our hotel and the restaurant. O’Corail serves breakfast and lunch daily except Mondays. Although the restaurant stays open until 5:00 pm, they stop serving food around 3:00 pm; however, you can still enjoy drinks and dessert after 3:00. Ouanalao Dive Center, located just behind O’Corail (when looking from the beachside), offers diving and snorkeling, and rents stand up paddle boards, (clear) kayaks, and pedal boats.

O’Corail is located beachside on the sand; however, it is one of the few waterfront restaurants on the island that does not offer complimentary use of their beach and chairs because they do not have any beach chairs - the restaurant seating extends right up to the water line. You can choose to sit either at immoveable picnic tables on their very tiny sliver of sand, or you can sit at a higher altitude at a high wooden dining bar in the main part of the restaurant with a full-on view of the water. This beach shack features lots of light wood and a white sunshade that covers both dining areas.

The lunch menu offers fish, salads, and burgers, and ice cream for dessert. Oddly, the only time during our visit to French St Barths that we received the wrong order was when an American waitress at O’Corail brought us two identical tropical drinks, instead of the one pina colada and the one beer that we ordered.

If you are in the Grand Cul-de-Sac vicinity, O’Corail is an option for a drink, snack, or meal.
