Capitán Barbanegra is a beachfront restaurant and beach club located directly on Mahahual’s malecon. The menu centers on seafood and Mexican dishes, with options like ceviches, seafood cocktails, fish filets, shrimp, lobster, fajitas, tacos, and grilled plates. You can order cocktails, beers, and other drinks while relaxing at tables or beach loungers with a view of the Caribbean.

The location offers a mix of shaded and sunny spots by the water, with access to food and drink service throughout the day. Although Capitán Barbanegra provides a full-service beachfront experience, not all charges are clearly displayed on the menu. Pricing is not always clearly displayed, and charges may be added to the final bill. It's a good idea to confirm prices in advance and review the check before paying. The atmosphere is typically busy, with vendors passing through regularly. Card payments are accepted, and staff are generally attentive.
