Frenchman's Cove
Fresh river water flows into the sea at a white-sand cove hidden in rainforest, often rated among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
Frenchman's Cove is a small bay hidden in tropical forest, where a clear stream crosses the white sand and flows into the blue sea. Visitors can swim back and forth between the fresh river water and the salty sea. Several media outlets have ranked it among the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches. The beach is run by a private resort, and entry costs about US$10–15. It has beach chairs, toilets and a beach bar serving freshly fried fish and smoked barbecued chicken. Waves can occasionally be strong, so take care. The cove is about 8 km from Port Antonio, roughly 15 minutes by taxi, and can be combined with a day trip to the Blue Lagoon and San San Beach.
