Beach overall scores
Rocky Point beach (Jamaica) is located outside the Belford settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Jamaica and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Rocky Point beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Rock Point beach, located at the eastern end of the island, boasts the finest white sand that I have ever laid eyes on. It has been a cherished destination for me since childhood, where I have frequented to purchase fresh fish and indulge in a refreshing sea bath. The beach's pristine beauty and serene atmosphere never fail to leave me in awe."
Samantha Stoneham-Smith
"The beach in St Thomas may look stunning, but don't be fooled by its appearance. It's a secluded location, and you'll have to go out of your way to find it. There's a bar here, but it's only for the fishermen who frequent the area. So, if you're not a fisherman, there's not much for you to do here. The beach is not worth the effort to get there."
