Bamboo Beach Club

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


This clean yellow-sand beach is hustler-free and popular with tourists only, due to the high admission price. Locals still call it by its old name, Reggae Beach. Kayaks are available for rent, there are changing rooms, and jerk chicken and fish are readily available. On a hot day with a cruise ship in Ocho Rios, the place gets absolutely packed.
