Puerto Seco Beach

North Coast · Discovery Bay

Rating: 4.4 / 5

Puerto Seco Beach sits on the western side of Discovery Bay in St. Ann, on the bay where Christopher Columbus is believed to have first landed in Jamaica in 1494. The name (Spanish for 'dry harbour') comes from that encounter. Today it is a well-run family beach park with lifeguards, calm reef-protected swimming, inflatable water-park obstacles, a restaurant and changing rooms. It is a reliable option for a kids' beach day between Ocho Rios and Mobay, and an easy stop off the north-coast highway.

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.
