Holiday Jamaica

Overview

Boston Bay, or Boston Beach as some call it, is one of the most fun, unique beaches in the Port Antonio area. A small cove nestled in between cliffs between Long Bay and Port Antonio is well known around Jamaica and beyond for the area’s Jerk Pits and for surfing. Boston is the only surfable waters on the island. Daily you will find the regulars challenging themselves against the waves on rougher days, snorkeling or windsurfing on calmer days. There are surfboard and other water equipment to rent, as well as lessons available for surfing, windsurfing and snorkeling.

There are several hotels and villas near Boston Beach that offers comfortable accommodation. They are mainly located in Port Antonio, which is 9 miles away, but there are also some that are almost adjacent to the beach. For example, there is a 3 star hotel in 2-minutes walk from Boston Beach Great Huts, offering free breakfast, parking space, Wi-Fi, several outdoor pools. An alternative to affordable though not very comfortable accommodation is a tent that can be set up right on the beach. Boston Beach also has cafe that serve local delicacies, and just behind the beach is the famous Jerk center. If you order a dish there in advance, it will not be cooked very spicy especially for you.

The entrance to the beach costs 200 Jamaican dollars per person. The local authorities have done everything in power to make the rest here as comfortable as possible, equipping it for this purpose:

Safe parking
Changing rooms
Shower stalls
Toilets
A shop that offers rental and sells the equipment necessary for riding on the waves
By setting up rescuer services and surf instructors cleaning up the area
