Floating taco bar with craft cocktails and tacos in the Caribbean
"Accessible only by boat, Lime Out is a tiny floating taco shop on St. John where tacos arrive on their own little float so you can eat while drifting; order a spiced tuna taco and a tamarind juice, work through a menu of eight tacos and 11 cocktails (plus nonalcoholic options), and note that it’s boat-only (rent your own or take the shuttle at $30 per person) and closed for hurricane season roughly late August through the third week of October." - Sophie Friedman
"For those who'd rather not drink on an empty stomach, the iconic Lime Out in St. John's Coral Bay offers tacos (try the rum-rib with chipotle slaw) and a lineup of rum-based cocktails, as well as stylish merch." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Floating in the middle of Coral Bay and reachable only by boat, kayak, or paddleboard, Lime Out sits on a pontoon with underwater seats so guests can stay afloat while enjoying tacos and a selection of draft beer and beverages — it's as dreamy as it sounds." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A uniquely island dining experience accessed only by boat where guests sit on floating 'lily pads' with their feet in the water and are served via floating trays; the menu highlights tacos complemented by a broad cocktail list full of cooling, fruity drinks. The novelty of dining while literally afloat makes it a memorable stop for visitors seeking a quintessentially island meal." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"Dylan Buchalter, Richard Baranowski, and Dane Tarr are behind this most unusual taqueria off of the island of Saint John. The only way to reach the restaurant is to hop on a boat. Once there, splash into the warm, turquoise waters of Coral Bay and swim right up to the bar for a Smokin’ Luca, made with mezcal, tamarind juice, and squeeze of citrus. Tacos come stuffed with fillings like grouper ceviche with pink grapefruit, jerk-seasoned tuna with pineapple, or pulled pork with a barbecue sauce spiked with locally distilled rum. Know Before You Go For diners unwilling to charter a boat, a shuttle service offers regular transportation out to the restaurant." - Traveler Tim, aaronthestrong
