This picture was taken in 1995. The brain cells associated with this picture are long gone!
The sign above the restaurant reads "Welcome to Peters Restaurant". It appears that the business was also into water sports.
Does anyone remember this establishment? What is there now?
I remember Peter's ~ their specialty was seafood, especially lobster. Believe a hurricane took out the place & they never rebuilt....

OMG Pete's!Absolutely the longest wait ever for a meal in Negril, but also one of the best meals ever... worth the wait.
I think Patricia is correct about what happened. As for what's there now, I think there's a little bar... Sunny-something?
On right is Petes on the left was Mavis and sons. Just south of one-mile on the beach. Pete
died in early 2000s.
Thanks, all. Patricia - you are good!
I had my first bowl of conch soup at Pete's in 1995 or 96. Thanks for sharing this pic.

Had many dinners at Petes. The special always seemed to be lobster in garlic butter. In the evening they would pull the tables out on the beach. They would use red Stripe bottles for candle holders, with plastic translucent cups as a candle shade. (it also kept the wind from blowing out the candle) As the candle burns down, you simply slide the cup down also. I still like to do that here at home!
We first featured Pete's and Mavis' back in Sept 1996 on our Negril Today pages - click on the link below for a blast from the past!
