Captain Oak’s Tiki Bar is a floating bar and casual restaurant anchored just off Long Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. Its distinctive setting in the shallow turquoise waters of the Caicos Banks has made it one of the island’s best-known waterfront attractions, combining Caribbean food, cocktails, music, and swimming in a uniquely scenic location.
Guests consistently praise the atmosphere, describing it as lively, friendly, and memorable, with music, beautiful water, and a relaxed social vibe receiving frequent mentions.
The jerk chicken, grilled lobster (when in season), wings, and cocktails are among the most commonly recommended menu items.
A small number of reviews note that the experience can vary depending on crowds, weather, or menu availability, and recommend calling ahead if visiting for specific dishes.
The menu centers on Caribbean-style grilled favorites, including jerk chicken, grilled lobster in season, shrimp or beef kebabs, burgers, grilled fish, and grilled corn.
Drinks range from signature cocktails and rum punch to local beer, mixed drinks, and non-alcoholic options. Many visitors also mention custom cocktails prepared by the bartenders.
The bar floats roughly 400 feet (121 m) offshore in calm, shallow water, with seating around the bar, a dance area, and a ladder leading directly into the sea for swimming.
The protected swimming area, panoramic views, and the ability to arrive by boat, jet ski, or water taxi create an experience that is as much about spending time on the water as it is about food and drinks.
