Floyd's Pelican Bar
A wooden stilt bar built on a sandbar in the sea, reached only by small boat. It is the most distinctive photo stop on the south coast.
Floyd's Pelican Bar was built by fisherman Floyd from driftwood and palm leaves on a shallow sandbar about 1 km offshore. Surrounded by sea on all sides, you can stand in waist-deep water to drink Red Stripe beer and eat freshly grilled lobster and fish. You must reach it by small boat from Parottee Beach or Treasure Beach. The round-trip fare is about 20 to 40 USD, so agree on the price before boarding. Boats do not run when the waves are rough. It lies about 2 hours from Montego Bay and is best combined with a Black River boat tour on the same day.
