Fisherman Beach

10 Charlie Mac

The new Fisherman's Beach has been finished and is scheduled to open on June 1, 2018.

Sea Garden Beach

8 Sarina L

We had a great time on their sunset cruise. As soon as we got on board, we were welcomed with mimosas. The bartender served delicious drinks and the staff made sure everyone was safe and moving around comfortably. There was a talented saxophonist on board who played amazing music. The ship was clean and the sail was smooth. The seating, especially on the top deck, could have been more comfortable. Sitting directly on the deck wasn't very pleasant. It would have been nice to have cushions or seats. There was a photographer on board who took a lot of pictures, but we realized too late that they were charging $55 for each photo, which was way too expensive. We felt like we wasted our time posing for the photographer instead of taking our own pictures.

Hellshire Beach

I went to Celine’s with my best friend and 11-yr old son. We ordered 4 fish from the platter in presented. The fry fish you see in the list of images was the largest fish the others were obviously smaller. Our order was fish (3 steamed, 1 fried) fried chicken and fries, festival and bammy, 1 Lola champagne, 1 ting and a sorrel beer). The bartender kept insisting that we paid her separately for the drinks. Suddenly it was $500 for a sorrel beer, and $200 for each soda. When we went to pay for the fish we were told the pay the guy. Which guy? The guy who gave us the parking spot and said it was his mother’s place. So while one of the young ladies from the kitchen followed us to the car we searched for the guy to pay. It was there (at our car) we were told the fish was $2500/lbs and we ordered 12.5lbs of fish. See order above and images below. None of those fish weighed over 3lbs. The chicken and fries meal was $1500. So if do the math we doesn’t over $32000. While I wanted to argue the rationale of this all. I was with my son, wanted a relaxing Sunday afternoon before we go home this week back to my 50+hr/week while studying lifestyle I refrained. What we did verbalize was that they would never see us there again. Neither would I recommend anyone to go there. This was our second trip to Helshire in 11hrs due to other preferred options. Saturday afternoon we went to Hero’s Circle for crab and corn, then jerk chicken at Port Henderson. All were great. I really hope he enjoys whatever his cut of that money was, while living the life he deserves.

Port Royal

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.

Doctor's Cave Beach

10 Kael Michaels.

This beach is truly a wonder with its immaculate, pristine sand that stretches out for miles. The water is so clear that you can see every detail of the underwater world, and it's delightfully warm and refreshing. However, it's important to be cautious when walking along the shoreline as we were surprised to come across a Caribbean Whiptail Stingray that was cleverly camouflaged beneath the sand. It was an incredible sight, but a reminder to always tread carefully. One of the unique features of this beach is the opportunity to witness planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport, adding an exciting element to the already breathtaking scenery.

Jewel Grande Montego Bay beach Jewel Grande Montego Bay

This place is great for spending a day at the beach with your loved ones. Additionally, it provides stunning vistas of Caribbean sunsets.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 41 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
