Jamaica is surrounded by endless beach land but here are my top 5 picks for the best beaches to relax and rejuvenate in no particular order. Some are history filled and others are just really really pretty! I hope you enjoy my picks and take them as solid fenmade recommendations!
DOCTOR’S CAVE
The thriving tourist hotspot of Montego Bay (Mobay) is home to some of the island’s most treasured beaches. A favorite among Mobay’s beaches is Doctor’s Cave Beach, a five mile stretch of pristine white sands, surrounded by sparkling, turquoise water. The beach earned its name when it was found in 1906 by a group of doctors.
Doctor’s Cave Beach located on the hotbed of Mobay’s tourist activity known as the Hip Strip, comes equipped with several changing rooms, a beach bar, many food stands and water activities like snorkeling and water skiing. This spot is perfect for the entire family.
JAME’S BOND BEACH
Located near Port Maria, James Bond Beach is a great place to leave all your troubles behind. White sand beaches, warm blue sea, Reggae music; what is there to worry about again? Enjoy yourself sunbathing, snorkeling, kayaking or rent a glass bottomed boat and admire the sights of marine life and coral below.
This beach named after the famous British spy penned by Ian Fleming offers visitors much seclusion than other Jamaican beaches, so there is plenty opportunity for a romantic stroll along the beach.
Nearby eateries include a hearty serving of breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Almond Tree Restaurant and The Little Pub that are 9.7 and 10.6 miles away respectively. With The Almond Tree Restaurant serving an international cuisine and The Little Pub serving tasty Jamaican delights, everyone is sure to go home satisfied.
Jamaican beaches are some of the best in the world and with a little consideration you can find the one that suits you best the next time you choose to visit this Caribbean Island paradise.
TREASURE BEACH
On the south coast lays a beach that is pretty much summed up by its name. This gem of a beach is often treasured by those who prefer to break away from the crowds and enjoy tranquil seclusion. Let the crashing waves, and sounds from the magnificent birds heard overhead be the soundtrack to your soothing vacation.
A strong undertow in the waters at Treasure Beach can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers, but will prove to be a delight for thrill seekers and daredevils who enjoy being heaved by the under current. Never overestimate your aquatic abilities when you visit this beach. Nearby restaurants offer local servings of delicious pumpkin soup, jerk chicken and pork, octopus and Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and salt fish (cod fish). There are also many beach cafes.
BOSTON BAY BEACH
If simple swimming and sunbathing only scratches the surface of your vacation enjoyment; if your total idea of fun involves more robust activities, then Boston Bay Beach in Portland is a must stop for you. Here you can find the biggest waves in Jamaica, so rent your surf boards and improve your half pipe with the surfing lessons offered- that’s if you need if of course.
Boston Bay Beach also offers swimmers the comfort of not having to muscle their crowds through crowds whenever they want to go swimming with its reputation for being one of the less crowded beaches in Jamaica.
Visitors to the beach can also enjoy picnic style food served up by nearby vendors who specialize in Jamaican jerk chicken, pork etc.
NEGRIL BEACH
On the northern coast of the island is the trendy tourist magnet,Negril, Jamaica and it is here where you will find the seven mile long Negril Beach. It stretches along the west of Negril and comes complete with golden sands and a view of the sea that is truly remarkable. This beach is perfect for all kinds of jet setters, but family vacationers beware: several sections of the beach are allocated to the uninhibited who like to bare all.
Within close proximity to the Hedonism II Resort it’s no wonder why Negril Beach lends itself to a laid-back, care-free attitude. Along the beach there are many open-air restaurants, bars, clubs and all in inclusive resorts where you can relax when you tire of swimming in the clear, blue waters of the Caribbean.
