Port Antonio Beaches

Boston Beach. Located at Boston Bay about 11 miles east of Port Antonio, Boston Beach is one of the most popular. It is open daily and no fee is charged. After a spicy meal at one of the jerk stands, take a dip in the sea. Be wary of waves at Boston Beach, which are often high enough for surfers. 

Navy Beach, out on Navy Island. Navy Beach is quiet and peaceful, one of three small beaches on the island.

San San Beach is five miles east of Port Antonio. The beach is small, but the water is beautiful.

Blue Lagoon is not really a beach, but with water this pretty, who cares? Blue Lagoon is a must while you’re in the Port Antonio area. Bring your towel and stay for the day. It’s just one mile east of San San Beach and is open daily. Admission is charged.

This beautiful sight is one that has to be seen to be believed. The cool, spring-fed waters cry out to swimmers. Floating docks encourage you to sun a little or you can lie out on the small beach. After a swim, try some Jamaican dishes in the casual lagoon-side restaurant. You might hear that the lagoon is bottomless (Jacques Cousteau dove here to find out), but it has been measured at a depth of 180 feet.

Frenchman’s Cove in Port Antonio is one of the best beaches on the island. This stretch of sand is very popular with locals.
