14Enjoy a tipple or three over the water at Floyd’s Pelican Bar
For those not in the know, a tipple is an alcoholic beverage. Before bringing your trip to a close you really must enjoy one at friendly Floyd’s Pelican Bar in Parottee Bay roughly half a mile from Treasure Beach around Black River. It almost appears to be precariously perched on old stilts of sea salt-soaked wood above the reefs and aquamarine water.
Have no fear of floating out to sea though as this driftwood and bamboo bar is actually anchored by a little sandbar. Accessible only by sea vessel, this hot spot serves up all the expected rum punch mixers and local cold Red Stripe lager you can drink and then some. The bar staff is always smiling and the views of the surrounding Caribbean are, of course, awesome. No wonder some sources say it’s Jamaica’s “most iconic drinking joint.”
