Overview
Floyd’s Pelican Bar is a one-of-a-kind, rustic wooden bar built on stilts in the middle of the shallow waters of Parottee Bay, off Jamaica’s South Coast. Accessible only by boat, it offers visitors a unique and unforgettable experience to relax, swim, and enjoy refreshing drinks while surrounded by stunning turquoise water and beautiful natural scenery. The bar’s charm comes from its simple driftwood and thatch construction, giving it a laid-back island vibe.
Visitors can savor fresh seafood like lobster and fish, sip on local rum punches or cold beers, and mingle with locals and fellow travelers. The water here is typically waist-deep, making it perfect for swimming or just cooling off in the sun. The short boat ride to the bar, often guided by local fishermen, adds to the adventure.
