Praised as being one of the most beautiful beaches in Jamaica, this Port Antonio treasure is under-the-radar. As one of the longest beaches in the area, there are plenty of spots in the sand. Strong currents and larger waves make this a surfing hot spot, and fishing boats (canoes) are often beached or anchored on the shore. The area is home to numerous mom-and-pop restaurants, jerk stands, quaint beach houses, and local artists. The beach attracts a number of backpackers and bohemians, and guest houses continue to spring up. The friendly, time-doesn't-matter vibe and sublime setting make this a hidden gem.
