Jacob Taylor Beach

Montego Bay & Northwest Coast


Right next to the Silver Sands Resort there's a turnoff for this small, flotsam- and jetsam-strewn fishermen's beach. The cerulean waves are too rough for swimming, but you can rock out to the reggae blasting from the rum shop and indulge in fresh seafood at the seafront beach shack.
