Reggae Beach, Ocho Rios -usually not too crowded
So we know who was here
Looks like fun
Enjoying the beach vibes
There is some shade and a beach bar- was a bit noisy (loud music) but still cool
Reggae Beach, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
If you’ve been there, please let us know about your experiences and how you rate this beach.
A fabulous beach- one of the nicest beaches in Jamaica actually.
The bar seems to have some repeated issues- no change and poor stock often.
Also on the last visit, some persons had parked their car near the beach and were playing very loud hip-hop with quite explicit language, which was extremely inappropriate and inconsiderate, especially given the amount of young children within earshot- no one working at the beach seemed to care. Also, the resident soundsystem was playing very nice roots reggae at a reasonable volume. God knows what tourists (there were also quite a few at the beach that day) think of our country when they see this sort of behaviour. Indicative of the complete disregard we have for our neighbours in this country, but I’ll save that rant for another post
A gorgeous beach otherwise though!
It is a beautiful beach and it used to be very , very nice. It has however deteriorated significantly in recent years. The music is invariably too loud — and I am talking about the resident sound system, not visitors — and last time we had to move several times because some guys were playing rough football all over the beach, at the expense of everybody around them. It also gets quite crowded at times. It’s a shame though and I hope that management will get its act together and organize things a bit better. I’d love to go back some day.
Its a very nice likkle beach indeed. Its however located in St. Mary parish, and not Ochi, which is in St.Ann’s parish.
Just so folks won’t be looking for it in the wrong spot
Thanks much for the correction!
Still don’t know where it is. Any directionS?
Reggae Beach is east of Ocho Rios, about 10 minutes drive. It has a sign on the left side of the road saying Reggae Beach but it’s easy to miss.
Yes, there’s a big yellow gate. Been there recently…its a few minutes west of Orocabessa, near James Bond Beach…on di border of St. Ann / St. Mary
I have been visiting Reggae Beach for years and consider it one of my favorite beaches of all time. The staff is always friendly, the beach is rarely crowded, the showers and games offered make it convenient. My only issue is the price has gone up soooo much (from $5 to $15) at last visit. I usually bring student groups of 25 and that is way too high. I want to bring another group this August 11, 2012 can you offer a group rate? Please email me at sbrown@peralta.edu if you can help. thanks!
