Floyd's Pelican Bar
A wooden bar built on stilts on an offshore sandbar, reachable only by boat, serving freshly cooked lobster, fish and cold beer.
Built in 2001 by local fisherman Floyd Forbes, the bar stands on a shallow sandbar just over 1 km offshore from Parottee Point. It is made from driftwood and thatch and is known as 'the coolest bar in the world'. The signature dishes are garlic lobster, fried fish and shrimp, served with cold beer. Visitors customarily leave a signature or a small souvenir on the wooden walls. Charter a boat from Treasure Beach, Parottee or Black River; the crossing takes about 20–40 minutes, so arrange a return time. Seafood is priced by the day's catch, so confirm prices before ordering. Mostly cash only.
