Bibi’s on the Beach is an over-the-water restaurant on Isla Carenero, Bocas del Toro, with wide views back toward Bocas Town and a constant ocean breeze. It is one of the most popular places in the islands for Caribbean seafood, and it has been a favorite for years.
Start with a fresh ceviche, then try the whole fried fish or the octopus in coconut sauce with coconut rice and beans. The drinks are beautifully made and generously poured, and on some evenings there is live music and dancing that turns dinner into a party. With more than a thousand Google reviews, it is one of the best-known seafood restaurants in Bocas del Toro.
Bibi’s on the Beach is open Tue to Sun from 12pm to 9pm (Sun until 9:30pm), and closed on Mondays.
