Ocho Rios Bay Beach is one of St. Ann’s best beaches, it is located right in the heart of the tourist capital. It’s a very popular beach for both local and overseas guests.
It’s a pay-to-enter beach but the price is very cheap and the fee is really to pay for the upkeep of the beach and other necessary amenities. At the time of this writing, the price to enter is $200 JMD for locals.
Bay beach is open 7 days a week, it is very clean and well-organized. The security presence is felt right throughout your duration so you feel very safe; However, it’s not overbearing to the point where it feels uncomfortable.
The beach has white sand and is approximately 478 meters long and 30 meters wide. Vegetation includes seagrape, seaside mahoe, West Indian almonds, coconut trees, and grasses.
Right next to the beach is the prestigious Moon Palace Jamaica from the Palace Resorts family. Here, visitors can enjoy a Reggae-style hotel, suites overlooking the ocean, varied cuisine with Bob Marley cocktails; water sports such as Paddle Boarding, Yoga, etc
There are many watersport activities to do at Bay Beach. Activities such as glass-bottom boat rides, tubing, and many more. As you go about your day, guys will come up to you very pleasantly asking if you are interested in any of the activities mentioned above.
Behind the beach are many shops that offer Jamaica’s best cuisines and delicacies. For eating you can get jerk chicken, burgers, sandwiches, etc. After swimming, you can cool off with many different beverages, from Jamaica’s iconic Red Stripe Beer to sodas, smoothies, strawberry daiquiri, etc.
My time at Ocho Rios Bay Beach was very fun, it was an overall great experience and I will definately be going back there.
