The beach is absolutely stunning, but the only downside is that it lacks white sand. Instead, it is covered in rocks and pebbles. So, if you plan on walking barefoot, be prepared for a hot stone pedicure. However, the water is crystal clear, warm, and has that perfect salty taste you would expect in a tropical paradise. It's a good idea to bring your own refreshments and some pocket money, as there is a restaurant nearby on the same road leading to the beach. I didn't have a chance to visit it this time, but hopefully, I will on my next trip.

It's a fantastic spot to relax, although I wouldn't recommend swimming due to the rough waters.

It's incredibly peaceful, and I love to go jogging, take leisurely walks with my dog, relax on the sand, and go for a swim.

The water is nice and the coastal air is refreshing. There is a long stretch of beach where you can camp out, and there are food places nearby. However, the beach coastline is not clean and there is a lot of washed up garbage.

Port Royal Beach is a hidden gem that offers tranquility and natural beauty. It remains largely untouched and undiscovered, making it a favorite among locals. If you're fortunate, you might even have the chance to meet Vandell, a fantastic individual who owns a charming property right by the beach. If you find yourself in Kingston, be sure not to pass up the opportunity to visit this remarkable place.
