Big Cee's Waterfront Dining

Stuffed lobster and marina views at Porto Cupecoy's waterfront dining spot

Cupecoy Beach restaurant
Waterfront Dining Seafood Marina Views Porto Cupecoy

Why Go

Big Cee's sits right on the water at Porto Cupecoy, offering the kind of marina-view dining that usually comes with a much higher price tag. The restaurant specializes in stuffed lobster, fresh seafood, and local dishes served in a spacious setting with both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the boats. If you're in the Cupecoy area and want a proper meal with water views without the resort restaurant premium, Big Cee's delivers.

The Experience

The waterfront setting at Porto Cupecoy is genuinely attractive — marina views, boats bobbing at their moorings, and enough space that you don't feel packed in. The atmosphere balances lively with relaxed, creating a dining environment that works for both casual lunches and more intentional evening meals. The stuffed lobster is the dish that gets mentioned most, but the broader seafood menu and local preparations show range. The indoor-outdoor setup means you can eat in the breeze or stay cool inside.

What to Try

The stuffed lobster is the signature and worth ordering at least once. Fresh seafood preparations change based on what's available — ask your server what came in that day. The local dishes offer flavors that the more tourist-oriented Cupecoy restaurants tend to smooth out. Sit outside for the marina views if weather permits.

Insider Tip

Big Cee's is one of the more affordable waterfront dining options in the Porto Cupecoy complex, which otherwise leans toward higher-end pricing. The marina views are just as good here as at the pricier restaurants next door. Evening visits offer better ambiance with the marina lights reflecting on the water. Parking at Porto Cupecoy is straightforward.
