WATCH: Fire Destroys Popular Kaikoconut Floating Bar
By Cory Wayland
A popular floating bar that had become a standout attraction along the southwest coast of Antigua and Barbuda has been destroyed by fire, leaving the once vibrant venue badly damaged and sparking concern among locals and visitors.
The vessel, known as the Kaikoconut Floating Bar, operated just offshore from Little Ffryes Beach and was widely known for offering a unique floating entertainment experience.
The Kaikoconut Floating Bar had grown into one of the island’s distinctive tourism attractions, welcoming both residents and visitors looking for a relaxed social atmosphere on the water. The venue typically opened daily from around midday until sunset, offering music, drinks, and panoramic ocean views.
At this time, it remains unclear what may have caused the blaze. There have been no immediate reports of injuries, and officials have not yet released details about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Authorities are expected to carry out an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
The loss of the Kaikoconut Floating Bar is likely to be felt within Antigua’s tourism and entertainment scene, where the floating venue had carved out a niche as a lively social hotspot along the island’s southwest coast.
