James Bond Beach
Saint Mary
James Bond Beach is located on a small peninsula at Oracabessa Bay, about 16 kilometers from Ocho Rios on Jamaica's north coast. The beach is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and the striking mountains that descend directly into the sea, creating a picturesque natural setting. It offers a water sports centre for visitors seeking active recreation. Amenities include a two-storey Moonraker bar, open on all sides, which regularly hosts live music events featuring jazz, blues, soca, and reggae. The beach has also been a venue for concerts by internationally acclaimed artists such as Rihanna, Ziggy Marley, and Lauryn Hill. The name "James Bond Beach" was adopted after a suggestion by journalist Neil-Monticelli Harley-Rüdd to the Jamaican Tourist Board, linking the site to the iconic fictional spy. This blend of natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and entertainment makes James Bond Beach a unique and attractive destination for visitors.
