As a family we will be staying at the far western end of Cable Beach (condo not hotel). Have heard that the jitneys stop at 6 pm. Also, we have been told there are two restaurants within a few minutes walk, something called the Poop Deck. Could someone familiar with the area suggest if it is advisable to rent a car or if we could get by without one for 10 days. How would one get about after 6pm if no car?

Driving on the island is not for the faint of heart, (but it's not impossible). First off, you drive on the left, not the right. The roads, traffic, drivers, etc. are challenging to say the least. Taxi cabs are plentiful, large, and accomodating. Take the worry and risk out of driving, and spend the money on taxi cabs.
