This was the best time. Such a cute, quaint, authentic place. A short boat ride from the beach, you ride up to the bar, get yourself a drink, and sit down to join a dominoes game, walk out into the open to feel the breeze and watch the sunset, or get into the waist-deep, blue, clear water to cool off....

You have to go so you can say you've been, unique place. From the beach it's just visible on the horizon and as you get closer on the 10 minute boat ride out there you realise it really is a wooden shack on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean. Takes a special kind of genius to open a... More

Take a license plate or flag or business card to pin on the wall when you go. This place is unique. With a car battery that runs the car stereo for music. A solar panel charges the battery and a Sirius Radio antenna. These young men will create you a wonderful meal. It is a mile offshore and you get... More

We have been to the Pelican Bar off the South Coast of Jamaica several times, and just recently. If you are looking for that truly Jamaican experience, this is the place. It is a small bar made out of driftwood on a huge sandbar out in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. There are lots of pictures on-line of the... More

Well I have always been intrigued by man-made islands and structures at sea. So a visit to the Pelican Bar seemed imperative. We ended up taking a boat from someone's house along the shore nearest the bar. Boats operate out of Black River, but the cost is more around $25-30 per person, instead of $10 at the closer point, and... More

We took a 4 hour return catamaran sail from Sandals Whitehouse to this extremely unique bar. Built entirely out of driftwood on a sand bar in the middle of the ocean Floyd's Pelican Bar is a must see. The food may not be the best, the beer may not be the coldest but the experience is priceless! You will never... More

We took an Island Routes Catamaran from Sandals Whitehouse. It is a wet and choppy ride out, and If you get seasick, this is NOT a good idea. The bar itself is cool. It was nice to get away from the resort for a few hours. The drinks are pricey, and so is the food, but it was worth seeing... More

The views of this handmade driftwood bar as you boat in are spectacular but upon arrival the smell of pot hits you immediately. Floyd and his cohorts are openly smoking pot and offering it to the tourists. Not nice! This is why Jamaica has a not so nice reputation. The food that is offered for sale (cash only) looked fresh...

I sat down in the small fishing boat on the Black River looking at an american alligator across the river on a dock. What was I thinking? Ride out was over a 3 foot chop so yea, I got wet. Watched pelicans diving on a school of fish, took a cpl pictures of a resort that was starting to fall... More
