James Bond Beach & GoldenEye
James Bond Beach, Oracabessa
Oracabessa, the place that inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond. Visitors can find a beach surrounded by water on three sides, and Goldeneye, Fleming's former home, now a luxury resort.
The small town of Oracabessa is the birthplace of the James Bond series. Ian Fleming, the author, had his winter villa, Goldeneye, here, and he wrote all fourteen Bond novels in it. It is now a high-end resort, and visitors can book a meal in its restaurant or a tour of the property. The nearby James Bond Beach is a peninsula with water on three sides. The water is clear and the waves are gentle. There are bars and water sports, and occasional reggae performances. Entry to the beach is charged. The drive from Ocho Rios takes about 25 minutes.
