If you’ve seen videos of people sipping drinks while standing in the ocean at Perfect Day at CocoCay, you’re probably wondering:
Where exactly is the floating tiki bar? And how do you get to it?

Here’s what to know before you go.


📍 Location: South Beach, CocoCay

The floating tiki bar is located at South Beach, one of the liveliest yet still relaxing parts of the island. It’s off the shore, meaning you’ll actually walk out into the water to reach it. It’s shallow, so no worries there — but you’ll definitely want to secure your phone and take off anything you don’t want to get splashed!


🍹 Drinks: What’s on the Menu?

The floating tiki bar usually serves one frozen drink option and a few other cocktail or bar selections.
It’s limited compared to the main island bars, so if you’re after variety, you might want to swing by the Chill Island Bar before heading out.

When I visited, they weren’t taking WOW Bands, you had to use your SeaPass card or tell them your cabin number and ship. But I’ve since heard from others that WOW Bands are now being accepted at the floating tiki bar, so that may have changed.


🏖 What South Beach Is Like

South Beach is a great mix of fun and chill. There’s upbeat music, sports courts, and a lot more energy than Chill Island, but it’s still a good place to lay back and unwind.
Right near the tiki bar, you’ll also find a Snack Shack, perfect for grabbing burgers, fries, mozzarella sticks, and those famous chicken sandwiches without leaving the beach.

If you’re visiting with a group, South Beach is a great place to spend the afternoon together: drinks, food, activities, and a breezy ocean view all in one spot.


✅ Tips Before You Go

  • The tiki bar opens mid-morning and stays open until mid-afternoon — it can get crowded!
  • There’s seating at the bar and around it. Many people stand in the water and enjoy their drink.
  • Bring a waterproof phone pouch or leave your valuables behind when wading out.
  • If you’re wearing a WOW Band, double-check with your bartender if they’re accepting it.

💬 Final Thought

Whether you stop by for a quick drink or spend the day lounging nearby, the floating tiki bar at South Beach is one of CocoCay’s most iconic photo ops, and a fun, relaxed way to enjoy your Perfect Day.
