As an educated guess, since some certified properties do not have dining facilities is that restaurants would be considered "attractions". After all, Rick's Cafe is an attraction and serves food as does Margaritaville and the Hard Rock Cafe in Montego Bay - all officially considered attractions.

3 Dives has been featured on TV shows and magazines and is considered an "attraction" locally at least. As long as the establishment has been certified by TPDCo as Covid Resilient, an argument can be made for it to be legal to visit.

The PM's comments make it clear that the "stay on property" rule is not an absolute. It has exceptions, and unfortunately he left the answer vague enough to allow for justifiable confusion as to what defines an attraction. If there is something there that "attracts" you to want to go, does that make it an "attraction"?

No matter what you do personally, follow all sanitizing, masking and distancing protocols. As much as we as humans want to greet each other with a hug, now is not the time...

And do wear your masks!!! It's not that hot, it's the law and simply a great, simple idea...
So Rob,

Are small restaurants, like Best of the West or Vinnies open (I assume, under your logic, they're considered 'attractions')?

Also, do you have to wear your mask when you're outside walking around on the Beach or Norman Manley Blvd sidewalk?? In NY, the mask isn't required unless within a business or restaurant (and you can take it off once seated) or a very congested area (which is rare outside, since all the summer activities, like festivals, concerts...etc, are shutdown in Buffalo). I am purchasing and trying different types of masks from amazon now to see what will be most comfy this winter.
