Winnifred Beach
A free public beach favored by locals, with calm, shallow water and roadside stalls selling fried fish and rum punch, for a true taste of local life.
Winnifred Beach, in Fairy Hill, is one of the few free public beaches near Port Antonio and has been maintained by the local community for many years. The water is clear and calm, with wide shallows suitable for swimming and playing with children. Stalls on the sand sell fried fish, lobster (in season), festival dumplings, and rum punch, and on weekends reggae music plays, giving a taste of authentic Jamaican beach life. Access is by a steep dirt slope that becomes muddy after rain, so it is best to take a taxi to the bottom. Facilities are basic, so keep an eye on your belongings. It is near the Blue Lagoon and can be visited together with it.
