Toast the Divine Eccentricity of The Pelican Bar

Take a short boat ride to the famous Pelican Bar, situated right in the middle of the sea, off the coast of Treasure Beach. A one-of-a-kind establishment that is open all hours night and day, this place was built by hand with several kinds of driftwood. Listen to bartender Dennis talk about constructing a bar in the middle of the ocean. To maintain its stability, the wood was submerged and placed deep beneath the sand to make for a foundation. Quick to recover from damage by a hurricane, The Pelican Bar doesn’t let much get in its way. After the sun goes down, a windmill provides electricity-free lighting so the drinking hole can stay open late. Toast this beautiful Jamaican beach getaway with a cocktail, just as the locals do night after night.
