Pick the right kind of beach day
Different coastal spots offer different experiences. Before going, check current access rules, entry fees if any, facilities and sea conditions for the beach you choose.
Bring the basics
Pack sun protection, water, swimwear, a towel and a dry place for your phone and valuables. Water shoes can be useful depending on the shoreline.
Pair beach time with Ocho Rios
A beach visit can work well alongside lunch, shopping or a short local activity. Avoid packing too many major attractions into the same day.
