Right behind Leverock’s, there is a parking lot where you can ditch the wheels and climb aboard the water taxi to zip your way Portside.

Regardless of the time of day you visit, Rum Bay’s menu has something for everyone, from appetizers and cocktails to fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza.

Believe it or not, this tropical-inspired restaurant offers delicious thin-crust or hand-tossed pizza that has become a fan-favorite over the years.

Just keep in mind, the water taxi to get to the restaurant is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have a party of eight people, it is recommended you make a reservation, as the taxi only holds 13 people.
