This beach is absolutely stunning and impeccably taken care of. The admission fee is incredibly reasonable at $2 USD / JM$200 for adults who reside in the area and only $1.00 USD / JM$100 for children. While there are no food vendors available directly on the beach, we were able to grab some delicious snacks nearby at the Taj Mahal and bring them with us. We can't wait to come back and visit this gorgeous spot again.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained. The water is crystal-clear, pleasantly warm, and not too deep. For local adult residents, the entry fee is a reasonable JM$200. Lounge chairs are available to rent for JM$700, and private boat tours can be arranged with vendors on the beach. If you need a snack or drink, there's a small hut on site. Bringing your own food is also an option. All in all, I would definitely come back to this beach.
