Burwood Beach

North Coast · Trelawny

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Burwood Beach is a long, quiet stretch of white sand on the Trelawny coast between Falmouth and Duncans, on the old north-coast road now bypassed by the highway. The water is shallow and calm for long stretches out, and the sand is soft and bright — a real contrast to the dark sand of the south coast. There are no resorts, no entry gates and almost no facilities, so bring your own water, food and shade. The beach is popular with local families at weekends and essentially empty on weekdays. A back-to-basics Jamaica beach day.

About beaches in Jamaica

Jamaica is home to over 80 beaches strung along three distinct coastlines. The north coast — anchored by Negril's Seven Mile Beach, Doctor's Cave in Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios — is the world-famous resort strip with calm turquoise water. The east coast around Port Antonio hides the most dramatic coves: Frenchman's Cove, Winnifred Beach, and Boston Bay. The south coast offers laid-back local favourites like Treasure Beach, Bluefields, and Hellshire. From the cliff-jumping spot at Rick's Café to the secluded sands of Lime Cay, this guide covers every beach worth visiting.
