Lances Bay Beach
A quiet public bathing and fishing beach about 300 m long, with fine dark-grey sand backed by almond trees and red mangroves, on the A1 between Lucea and Negril. It is a working fishing beach and far calmer than the resort beaches nearby.
Getting there
Easy. Directly off the A1 between Lucea and Negril, with room for a few cars. NEPA lists free entry and no set hours. No lifeguard, so take care in the water. A small shop sells drinks and snacks.
