I have been going to Burwood Beach for a few years. It's a quiet beach off the beaten path in Trelawny. It's typically not busy, and it caters to the locals which I prefer, as opposed to busier more popular beaches like Doctor's Cave. There's a little bar on the beach.
Burwood neighbors the 876 Beach Club. (I wanted to do a separate review of 876 Beach Club, but it's not pinned on Google.) For $1000.00 JMD (roughly $10) you can sit on the beach at 876 Beach Club and you get a beach chair and wrist band. There's a bar/restaurant where you can order drinks and food. There's also a huge water trampoline and bouncy castle not too far out that you can walk or swim to. On that side of the beach you can also rent jet skis. You can definitely make a day of it there. Go early to get a beach chair under one of the large trees for when it gets super hot. Horseback riding is also available...
Read moreI would NOt recommend this beach at all! Our family had decided to go off and do this trip on our own instead of going through the excursion of the ship. It cost us $20 a person for the bus and got dropped off on the most sketchy beach ever. We were offered drugs 6 times, the kids and us did not feel safe at all, tarantulas in the sand, bathroom was to scary to even go near, and a group of us had to stay on the beach to protect our stuff so we were unable to enjoy any part of it!! We stayed for a hour before we couldn’t take it anymore. Do not waste...
Read morePlentiful parking . The water is quite shallow within the roped off area so a good Beach for kids and nonswimmers, But no good For snorkelling.
Currently it costs $600 entry for nonjamaican residents. Lilows changing rooms etc are extra, which is a bit annoying. Changing and bathrooms should be in the price. Ideally everyone should pay a reduced entry fee. This would bring in far more revenue for the upkeep of the beach and facilities, than charging a few nonresidents $600.
Overall a very good Beach for just relaxing and taking in...
