    The hike to the Hermitage/Mount Alveria is well worth it to see the monastery and the fantastic views of the island and the water. Be sure to stop by Olive's Bakery for fresh bread. Another favorite is Hidden Treasures along the New Bight Fish Fry. The menu features Bahamian dishes. Chef Trevor is amazing! We had the grilled lobster tail and jerk grouper. The mango daiquiris are fantastic as well! It is located in the bright yellow building just north of the sailing club. You can park there or take your dinghy right up to beach in front of their restaurant - very cruiser friendly. (Note: This is the same restaurant that was previously located NW of the New Bight Food Market. They moved to the fish fry location on April 10, 2024.). The location has limited seating so the owners recommend calling for a reservation so they will be sure to have a table available. (Phone #: 242-424-9237)
