New Marina Cay Bar And Grill Set to Open June 30

Residents and visitors are in for an amazing culinary experience at the new open-air Marina Cay Bar and Grill.

The establishment is located on Marina Cay, an eight-acre private island just offshore from Beef Island, Tortola.

It officially opens on Friday, June 30.

A company statement said the bar and restaurant, which is managed by Scrub Island Resort, Spa and Marina, “will once again spring to life in its newest iteration, to the delight of local residents, charter boat crews and island-hopping visitors.”

Julianne Corlew, Vice President and Managing Partner of Mainsail Lodging and Development, said the company is thrilled with the reopening of the restaurant which gives visitors a taste of Caribbean cuisine.

“This is an exciting new chapter for Marina Cay, which has been a treasured landmark in the British Virgin Islands for generations,” Corlew said, adding, “we’re thrilled to reopen the island and the restaurant, once again welcoming our BVI neighbours and visitors from around the globe to enjoy the tastes and sights of the Caribbean on Marina Cay.”

The island was home to American bestselling author Robb White and his wife Rosalie in the late 1930s.

“His best-selling book of 1953, Our Virgin Island, chronicled their life on Marina Cay and was later adapted for a film starring Sidney Poitier and John Cassavetes, which was partially shot on location” the statement said.

Lunch and dinner will be served in a picturesque, open-air setting overlooking Tortola and other nearby islands from Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Marina Cay is accessible to local residents, visitors and resort guests via Scrub Island’s private ferry, as well as charter boats.
