Carib Beach Bar – Christ Church You’ll find this charming bar along the shores of Worthing Beach. “The Carib” as it’s known locally, offers stunning views of the ocean and bits of reef at low ride. The establishment serves up tasty cocktails but it’s the classic Caribbean fare like fish cakes, coconut shrimp, and hearty chicken curry that keeps people coming back for more. We suggest visiting the Carib on a Friday night to enjoy live music, friendly locals, and a laid back island atmosphere!
