Pelican Bar

 

Pelican Bar - St. Elizabeth
Tel: 1 876 354-4218

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, half way between Black River and Treasure Beach. The Pelican Bar is the perfect place to spend the day being busy doing nothing, sunbath, drink beer, swim in the shallow waters, eat fresh fried fish or even bring along your fishing gear to catch your own dinner!
The Pelican Bar quite literally began life as a dream, local fisherman Floyd Forbes dreamt one night of a bar built out to 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 a hard day's fishing. However, it didn't take very long for the local hotels to recognise the enormous potential of this picture perfect serenity.

All was going well for Floyd until 2004 when Hurricane Ivan hit Jamaica. The Pelican Bar was totally destroyed by the storm and Floyd had no insurance to cover the cost of the damage. However, the bar had become such an established attraction that local business owners knew that Treasure Beach could not afford to loose it. The owner of Jake's hotel in Treasure Beach donated new wood and many others chipped in to help with the reconstruction. Within a month the Pelican Bar was back up and running.
Many local fishermen are able to ferry you over to the bar from Treasure Beach or Black River - just ask in your hotel. The 20 minute journey may not suit those with delicate stomachs but the destination is definitely worth the trip. If you're lucky you may even see dolphins swimming by your boat!

Caribbean Fly Fishing in the British Virgin Islands

Caribbean Fly Fishing in the British Virgin Islands

The Best Salt Water Fly Fishing in the Caribbean!

The BVI
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a collection of 60 islands, cays and rocks forming the northern extremity of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean.  Mostly uninhabited, these islands set the stage for an adventure in salt water fly fishing. Located 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of Puerto Rico these islands have a balmy, subtropical climate. The islands of the BVI form almost an oval around Tortola, the largest island. They are volcanic in origin, with the exception of Anegada which is formed of coral and limestone and is the lowest lying.   On land, the BVI is endowed with fine mountain ranges, small valleys and little flat fertile agriculture land. The BVI offers pristine water, abundant game fish and idyllic weather.  Our base is located at Nanny Cay on  the island of Tortola. Slow Paced, friendly and easily accessible, the BVI is "one of nature's little secrets".  Currency is the US dollar and English is the common language.
There are many routes available to get to the BVI. The usual ways are either to fly via San Juan to Beef Island Airport, Tortola or to fly to St Thomas, USVI and get the ferry across to West End, Tortola. It is also advisable to check out one of the many charter flights to St Martin or St Kitts and then get one of the island hopper airlines to Beef Island. European visitors can reach us from Antigua via island hopper. Please feel free to contact us for any further information as to how to get here. Should you wish you can hire a small private plane or helicopter from San Juan or USVI at a reasonable rate.
