Plus, there's always time for cocktails, sweet treats, and more on this island hopping adventure!

For Katie Lee, one of the most exciting parts of traveling beaches worldwide is finding regional specialties along the way. Katie uncovers some of the best hometown favorites around, including the famous burger from Le Tub Saloon in Hollywood, Fla., lamb and a pineapple cocktail in Mexico, conch fritters and a key lime pie pop in Key West, Fla., and snapper and Carribean squash in St. Bart's.

Katie Lee is finding authentic beach cuisine that stays true to its local origins. She hits up a Georgia beach barbecue for pulled pork sandwiches, samples ceviche and a tropical fruit gazpacho in St. Barts, heads to Mexico for chile rellenos, before one last stop for crab turnovers in Puerto Rico.

Katie Lee searches high and low tide to find new and inventive ways that meals are prepared around the world.
