Cardiff Hall Beach

North Coast · Runaway Bay

Rating: 4.4 / 5

Cardiff Hall Beach sits in Runaway Bay, St. Ann, on the north coast between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. It is a long, white-sand beach with calm, reef-protected water ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and backed by a mix of villas, small hotels and golf-course grounds. Runaway Bay itself gets its name from the route enslaved people took to escape to freedom in Cuba, and the area retains a slower, less crowded feel than the major resort towns on either side. A reliable north-coast choice for a relaxed 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.
