This little beach bar is what makes tugboat beach! Loved relaxing here during our snorkeling.

Great place to learn to dive with Ken, snorkel and look for fish, and to just relax and destress. Also, best hotdogs on this end of the island!

Ok. The place is great but it's a shack on a small beach. It's cozy and the beer is cold. The area is known as "The Tug Boat" which is good for scuba diving and snorkeling, There is no "dive shop" there. Lots of dive schools or divers go there. Jaime the guy running the place does painting art and you can also participate with him. The underwater life is great! This is a underwater photographer must do. The pier has a drilling ship moored to it but it has been there for years. Underneath the pier the marine life is abundant on the pillars and there are currently 3 sea horses under the pier. The Tug Boat is about 300 feet from the beach, near the shoreline. One of the many coral nurseries is also there. Look but don't touch. It's a local place hidden away but you can spend a few hours there diving, snorkeling or drinking beer. Very relaxed place.

Sadly, the chill vibe is gone
I’ve always loved the laid-back atmosphere at Tugboat beach bar, but unfortunately, it has lost some of its charm lately. There is now music playing from both the main beach bar and the artist bar at the same time. Having two different songs clashing constantly is really jarring and makes it impossible to relax.
I politely mentioned this to the management, but they weren't interested in making any changes. I really hope they reconsider, as I’d love to see that old, authentic vibe return.
