Black River Safari & Pelican Bar Tour
Pelican Bar Tour (Offshore)
Visiting Pelican Bar in Jamaica is definitely something to brag about. Floyd’s Pelican Bar is a tiny bar made of driftwood stilted on a huge sandbar about ¾ miles out in the sea.
Pelican Bar is located in Parottee Bay on the South Coast of Jamaica and has to be one of the most unique places to eat and have a drink in the entire world – hands down the best bar in the Caribbean!
To get there you have to take a 20-minute boat ride to this rustic establishment in the middle of the ocean. Once there you can sunbathe, swim in the shallow ocean water, drink a cold beer and eat some fresh lobster or fish (order food ahead of time).
