Beaches
Port Antonio has some of Jamaica's most beautiful beaches, from
free public beaches to managed beaches with facilities and charging
an entrance fee. San San Beach is a private strip of sand that has
warm and shallow waters, and some offshore reefs that are ideal for
snorkelling. In winter the waves make this a perfect spot to
windsurf. One of the region's prettiest beaches is Frenchman's Cove
with its clear waters and white sand. During the 1960s a luxurious
hotel resort, visited by the likes of Prince Philip and Elizabeth
Taylor, occupied the headland, but has since closed down and fallen
to ruin. The secluded cove at Boston Bay is perhaps more famous for
its jerk stands than its public beach, with food stalls lining the
road that serve jerk in all its forms. The waves, however, have
raised its status as one of the best beaches in Jamaica for
windsurfing.
