Lobster Alive and All that Jazz

Art Taylor
Owner

Their big Caribbean spiny lobster is caught by scuba divers in the nearby Grenadine Islands and flown in “alive” by Art Taylor in his private plane to their large wholesale distribution tank.

Newly-renovated Lobster Alive is centrally located at the International Yacht Anchorage in historic Carlisle Bay, the best beach in Barbados. The big walk-in tank provides stimulating entertainment for kids and adults alike. Beach lounge and umbrella rentals are available. There are jet ski and water sports operators out front along with good parking and wheelchair access. Speedboat pickup from the West Coast can be arranged. Beachy by day, peachy by night.
