6 Must Visit Beach Bars Around The World

What’s better than the beach? Lounging on that beach with a frosty beverage in hand. Raise your glass and check out 6 beautiful beach bars worth the trip!

# Soggy Dollar Bar, White Bay, British Virgin Islands

Until recently, the only way to get to the Soggy Dollar was to anchor your boat and swim to the bar. But the Soggy Dollar is now accessible by land, so you can keep your bills (and your credit cards) dry if you want. Even if you have to swim for it, the Soggy Dollar is worth a visit, as it is the birthplace of the famous Caribbean cocktail known as the Painkiller. Order the Original Painkiller made with dark rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and orange juice, then topped with fresh Grenadian nutmeg and enjoy it in a hammock on the sand.

# Caddy's on the Beach, Sunset Beach, Florida

Sometimes going to the beach can be a hassle. Who wants to lug bulky chairs across the hot sand? That's not a problem at Caddy's, where patrons have free lounge chairs delivered to them on the beach by a cabana boy. This beach bar has live entertainment seven days a week, so you can alternate between lounging and dancing in the sand.

# Baba Nest, Phuket, Thailand

Sip a signature cocktail concocted from fresh local ingredients (like the Mai Thai Lady, made with rum, Curacao, and almond syrup, along with fresh pineapple, mint, lychee, and lime) as you survey panoramic views of Phuket from this rooftop. Grab a beanbag pillow and settle in to watch the sunset reflect off the 360-degree infinity pool that surrounds Baba Nest.

# La Buena Vida, North Akumal, Mexico

It might feel like the room is swaying after a few margaritas at La Buena Vida—or you might just be sitting in one of the bar's many swings. For the best views of Half Moon Bay, scale one of the miradors or "crow's nests," private tree houses perched high above the trees. (Best attempted before you have too many of those margaritas.)

# The William Thornton, Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Like your beach bars a bit rowdier? Party like a pirate aboard The Willy T, a floating bar anchored off the coast of Norman Island. Boaters come here to drink cocktails made with Willy T's own brand of gold rum, take shots out of the "shot ski," and dive 15 feet off the ship's top deck.

# Theros Wave Bar, Santorini, Greece

Theros Wave Bar sits on the volcanic white rocks of Vlychada and offers amazing ocean views. Order a drink from the bar (constructed out of the same volcanic rock) and relax on a sun bed. Or, come for one of the bar's famous full-moon parties!
