Eating and Drinking

No worries about vacation pounds when booking a flight to Freeport. Since local food is heavy with shellfish and tropical fruits, it should be easy to stay in swimsuit shape. Even the rum drinks are laden with fruit. Enjoy fresh banana bread and tropical fruits like papayas and mangoes over breakfast while planning your day.
