Hellshire Beach

I went to Celine’s with my best friend and 11-yr old son. We ordered 4 fish from the platter in presented. The fry fish you see in the list of images was the largest fish the others were obviously smaller. Our order was fish (3 steamed, 1 fried) fried chicken and fries, festival and bammy, 1 Lola champagne, 1 ting and a sorrel beer). The bartender kept insisting that we paid her separately for the drinks. Suddenly it was $500 for a sorrel beer, and $200 for each soda. When we went to pay for the fish we were told the pay the guy. Which guy? The guy who gave us the parking spot and said it was his mother’s place. So while one of the young ladies from the kitchen followed us to the car we searched for the guy to pay. It was there (at our car) we were told the fish was $2500/lbs and we ordered 12.5lbs of fish. See order above and images below. None of those fish weighed over 3lbs. The chicken and fries meal was $1500. So if do the math we doesn’t over $32000. While I wanted to argue the rationale of this all. I was with my son, wanted a relaxing Sunday afternoon before we go home this week back to my 50+hr/week while studying lifestyle I refrained. What we did verbalize was that they would never see us there again. Neither would I recommend anyone to go there. This was our second trip to Helshire in 11hrs due to other preferred options. Saturday afternoon we went to Hero’s Circle for crab and corn, then jerk chicken at Port Henderson. All were great. I really hope he enjoys whatever his cut of that money was, while living the life he deserves.

The water is nice and the coastal air is refreshing. There is a long stretch of beach where you can camp out, and there are food places nearby. However, the beach coastline is not clean and there is a lot of washed up garbage.

Under the new management, the beach has undergone a significant transformation, and although it may be a tad expensive, it now caters more to families. The seafood, festival, and bammy were all delightful and satisfying.

A serene haven where one can bask in the beauty of Mother Nature. However, the only downside is the abundance of litter, which unfortunately detracts from the overall experience.
