Difficult to get in but the scenery looks great. There is a paved road after 180 main road turn (arriving from Ocho Rios) right at the bus stop so do not use the bumpy muddy road showed on google maps or the back road from fish sanctuary. Once you arrive you will see the locked gate but if you are lucky you might be able to talk to someone to let you in for a fee of course. Fee varies significantly and better to have Jamaican dollars as guys had very wrong rate towards US$. They wanted 2.000 JMD for snorkelling but just entry to look around is much cheaper (500). They couldn’t calculate properly the conversion as they struggled with their calculator and english too. According to them first they wanted 150 US$ then 50 then 30 and in the end even hands and legs were unable to help but the jamaican paper on the hands worked.

The beach has changing rooms, showers, a bar, restaurant, large grassy field for playing volleyball and football, deckchairs on the sand for guests and catchy music playing. Carry your own ball. Admission seems reasonable enough although the beach is small and I felt the guards at the gate aren't trained in handling crowds because we waited for nearly 15 minutes before they could sort out 20 people which I found ridiculous. The restaurant was terribly overpriced too and the fish wasn't fresh. At least the beach was very beautiful and very clean

This was my first time at the beach and I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely beach and park; especially since the road in was so bad. The park itself is quite nicely maintained and the restaurant and bar were very nice. We found the food at the restaurant was quite exceptional but a bit on the expensive side. I would definitely come here again.

Absoultely stunning area and a must go to if you are in Jamaica.If you want to go to Ian Flemings house you need to reserve in advance. There are boat trips out which are well worth it as you understand who lives where as well as the important fishing conservation they are doing.

Great beach. Secluded, beautiful. Worth the $5 to get in. They have a bar and grill (prices were very reasonable), restrooms, showers. Lounge chairs for the beach. Music playing on speakers. Atmosphere is laid back and relaxing. Just what my husband and I needed for the day.
