If you’ve purchased a package with drinks, you can definitely use it on Perfect Day CocoCay island.
Even if you want to spend the day lounging shoreside or snorkeling among the colorful coral reefs near South Beach, you don’t need to go far to find your favorite beach-day sip. In fact, you can cool off with an ice-cold beer, a piña colada or a Coco Loco without even getting out of those crystal-clear Caribbean waters.
Located within easy wading distance from the shore, the island’s famous floating bar is the place to go for the ultimate drink in paradise — just look for the floating tiki hut and head toward it. Before you know it, you’ll be soaking up views and floating along in an island state of mind as you bob gently on the waves.
Also located on Chill Island’s pristine shores, the Wacky Seagull and Wacky Seagull Jr. bars make it easy to grab cocktails or beer whenever you want a refresher. The two sister bars are located at opposite ends of Chill Island. One is near the beach rentals kiosk on the southwest corner of the island, and the other is close to the shore excursions kiosk on the side nearest Oasis Lagoon.
Snag a drink and bring it back to your daybed or private cabana to enjoy beachside, or stay a while at the bar and let the sound of crashing waves carry you away.
