Half Moon Beach and Calico Jack's Island Bar

[irie always]

Had the pleasure this trip to go twice with different friends. This location is just past Rhodes Hall as you head out of Negril towards Mo-Bay.

The entrance fee is $ 5.00 to enjoy the tranquility of the beach and they have a few loungers along with restaurant /bar.

There is another fee of $ 5.00 each, roundtrip to take a motor boat or house boat or wooden raft out to the Island Pirate Bar.

Big plus for the Island bar is a flushing toilet into a holding tank so you can enjoy those few beers along with a tasty lunch cooked on the spot.

This is a lovely shaded spot with a great breeze to hang out and chill and perhaps do a little snorkeling.

Choice of Lobster/Chicken/fish with rice and peas - macaroni salad and coleslaw

Looks wonderful,how were the food and beer prices? Thanks for sharing!

[irie always]

Kimbobwee - we got charged on first visit for entrance but not on our second visit

Billndonna - I think lobster was around $ 20-22 and drinks about $ 3 to 4 - can't say for sure but not more than that.

Wow that looks awesome Irie!

For 20$ I had the best grilled lobster I've ever had in Negril. Perfectly cooked, still moist and tender. The sides were generous and tasty. I see by the chefs attire that they have dropped the pirate theme. Good. A much more pleasant adventure closer to Negril than Pelican bar and with clean toilet facilities. Good snorkelling in shallow water off the island. I don't have as many friends as Irie Always so only went once!

Do they allow picnics there? I would of course not be adverse to buying a few drinks but would like to bring some snacks/sammies/soft drinks in a small cooler as well.

I believe they don't, but you could always phone ahead and clarify.

I was under the assumption that this was a chain restaurant? It doesn't appear to be though.
