Half Moon beach - where dreams become true vacations
If the packed public beaches are not your style, you may want to skip all these public beaches entirely and head instead for the Rose Hall Beach Club on the main road 18km (11 miles) east of Montego Bay. The club offers .8km (1/2 mile) of secluded white-sand beach with crystal-clear water, plus a restaurant, a bar, a covered pavilion, an open-air dance area, showers, restrooms, hammocks, changing rooms, beach volleyball courts, beach games, and a full watersports program. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children. Hours are daily from 9am to 5pm then the Rose Hall Beach Club will give you a relatively secluded option. The white-sand beaches and crystal waters are as good as any on the island, and beachgoers can enjoy the added luxury of a restaurant, two bars, and a covered pavilion to the beach's list of amenities. Whether you want to bathe in the sun, go snorkeling, or join in a beach-volleyball match, Rose Hall ensures that the crowds won't spoil your beach activities. Cornwall Beach is a long stretch of white sand with dressing rooms, a bar, and a cafeteria. The grainy sand and good swimming have made it a longtime favorite. Unlike some of Jamaica's remote, hard-to-get-to beaches, this one is near all the major hotels, especially the moderately priced ones. Unfortunately, it can be crowded in winter (mostly with tourists, not locals). This is a good beach for kids, with gentle waters and a gently sloping ocean bottom. The beach is open daily from 9am to 5pm. Admission is $3.25 for adults, $1.65 for children. Doctors Cave Beach, on Gloucester Avenue, is arguably the loveliest stretch of sand bordering Montego Bay. Its gentle surf, golden sands, and fresh turquoise water make it an inviting place to swim, and there's always a beach-party atmosphere. Placid and popular with families, it's the best all-around beach in Montego Bay. Sometimes schools of tropical fish weave in and out of the waters, but usually the crowds of frolicking people scare them away. Since it's almost always packed, especially in winter, you have to get there early to stake out a beach-blanket-size spot. Admission is $5 for adults, $2.50 for children age 12 and under. Open daily 8:30am to sunset. The beach club here has well-kept changing rooms, showers, restrooms, a food court, a bar, a cybercafe, and a sundries shop. Beach chairs and umbrellas can be rented daily.
