THE BEACHES, PORT ANTONIO, JAMAICA

Enjoy the best of both worlds in Port Antonio, Jamaica: mountains and lush forests and some of the most beautiful beaches in Jamaica.

Frenchman's Cove: This small cove, just east of the hamlet of Draper's, 7 kilometres from Port Antonio, boasts one of the prettiest white sand beaches for miles. A stream winds lazily to the white sand beach that shelves steeply into the water. Guests enjoy the best of both worlds, fresh and sea water. There is a snack bar and a secure parking lot. There is a fee to use this beach and this is included in your room rate at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill. The beach is closed on Tuesdays.

Boston Beach: The main reason to stop at Boston is for the Boston Jerk. Most of the little beach has been all but washed away. If you fancy a little surfing, then Boston Beach is your beach.

Long Bay: Great for strolling, but undertow often rules out swimming. Great for "bouncing" around in the waves.

San San Beach: This beach was used as a setting for the cable movie Treasure Island. Passers-by may be able to gain day use for US$ 8. It is open 10am to 4 pm daily. Offshore is a tiny islet: Pelew Island. Watch out for spiny sea urchins if you swim out to the island. Swimming to the island and enjoying it's pristine beauty may soon be a thing of the past if the owner's 'development'plans are allowed to go through. Help us to save one of Jamaica's treasures by signing our petition.
