Leave your worries on dry land and escape to the laid-back seclusion of Jamaica’s Pelican Bar, a rustic watering hole built on stilts surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Drink Red Stripe beer or Jamaican rum, savor a freshly caught fish, and cool off with a swim in the clear blue water at this off-the-beaten-track destination.
If you are looking for the perfect ‘get away from it all” experience, then look no further than the Pelican Bar, a rustic wooden bar built on a sand bank a quarter of a mile out to sea, halfway between the Black River and Treasure Beach.
The Pelican Bar is the perfect way to spend your day doing absolutely nothing. Sunbath, drink beer, swim in the shallow waters, eat fresh fried fish or freshly caught grilled lobster, and just shut out the outside world and chill. The Pelican Bar quite literally started out as a dream. Local fisherman Floyd Forbes had a dream one night about a bar built out at sea, resting on stilts. The clarity of the dream inspired Forbes to set about building this bar, which he did by transporting large planks of wood on his fishing boat. In 2001 the bar was completed and it was named “The Pelican Bar” after the large flocks of Pelicans who rested on the sand bank. It was originally used by Floyd and his friends to sit and take a break from the hard day of fishing. However, it didn’t take very long for the local hotels to recognize the enormous potential of this picture-perfect serenity.
Enjoy a trip to this magical location that is sure to give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
