This was a great place for home-cooked ital (vegetarian/vegan) food. There's no menu, but the chef threw together what he had on hand (and said he tries to prepare different meals each night). It was a nice-sized portion of food and inexpensive, and the tables sit right on the beach. There's no beer or alcohol at Survival Beach Restaurant, but... More

I saw a review for someone who clearly wanted neat tables and perfect servingware. Non-relevant for this wonderful place by the sea. We love Oliver's cooking and we call ahead to make sure he is ready with enough food for our little group. For people who want the local ital experience, go to Survival Beach!

Being vegetarians, we wanted to like the place. The place is a shack - in fact, shack is an understatement and even the daredevil would not try dinner at this joint.

We were the only ones there and the cook/waiter pulled us out a table right over to the edge of hte water and found a candle, scooped up a cup of sand, and that fast, we had moonlit/candlelight/waterfront dinner. We had the ital stew and the fish,... More

a yard with a couple of tables and candles in plastic bottles. Very friendly host; lovely veggie food (he also does fish).

It took us a few days before we had the courage to go into the Survival Beach. I've got to be honest and say it doesn't look very promising from the outside. It's one of a long string of restaurants and bars lining the seashore to the east of Port Antonio. Easy to walk to from the centre of town.... More
